A varied collection of mid-to-late 20th-century British menswear, encompassing traditional country pursuits and formal social attire. The group includes a classic dark olive green waxed cotton field jacket, featuring a corduroy-lined collar, heavy-duty metal zip with a snap-button storm flap, and large bellows pockets; a blue prize rosette is pinned to the interior lining. The collection also features a Mascot brand olive green quilted shooting gilet, constructed with contrasting brown suede-style shoulder patches for recoil protection and metal snap fasteners. This vest displays an embroidered chest patch for the Finningley Clay Pigeon Club.

Formal wear is represented by a black wool double-breasted evening tailcoat with prominent peak lapels, accompanied by a hanger from Usher of Edinburgh. The lot further contains a single-breasted boating blazer in a wool-blend flannel, decorated with broad vertical stripes in chocolate brown, royal blue, and cream. Additionally, there is a navy blue wool club blazer featuring distinctive tri-colour twisted cord piping in blue, orange, and white along the edges and cuffs, paired with a segmented velvet sporting honours cap in green and cream with a central tassel.
