What's With Happi Coats?

 

Hashers occasionally wear specialized clothing on trail or to the closing circles. Common items include thick, knee-high socks (commonly referred to as "Shiggy" socks), kilts, or "happi" coats, while some chapters (aka "kennels" in hare-and-hound chapters) offer "earned" clothing such as bibs or sashes. Shiggy socks are worn to protect the shins and knees of the wearer from thorns, mud, branches, or whatever else they run through. The Hash has its own tartan for members' kilts.

Custom happi coats such as the one I have from A Kilted Hash, originated out of Japan, are also commonly seen and made to reflect the local kennel. Often, they are often adorned with patches of hashes and events you have participated in as well as hashers personal patches that you have met and or run with or even completed a challenge for. So get you happi coat on and share some pictures.

The murder is solved throughout the trail and stops by mingling, sleuthing and reviewing clues, allowing everyone to participate fully to the extent that they feel comfortable doing so. This sets the stage for much spontaneity and ensures the trail and stops are kept lively all the way through closing circle!

Looking for a Kilt for Hashing, Running or Hiking, Look no Further.

 

Looking for a kilt for hashing, look no further, Sport Kilts has you covered and at a nice price with two great H3 tartans such as the Hash House Harriers Trail Kilt on the left and the Hash House Harriers Hunting Kilt on the right. Of course there are many other traditional tartans to choose from.

The Hash Kilts were conceived by members of the Society of Kilted Hashers, as trail-worthy, washable kilts for the world hash. The notion was to design a tartan, using G’s regimental tartan as a pattern, with the hash colors of green for shiggy, brown for mud and dirt, blue for water crossed, red for blood shed, white for trail, and amber representing our beverage of choice.

A number of tartan designs were evaluated and two selected and certified by the STA as Hash House Harriers Trail, for the golden sett, and Hash House Harriers Hunting for the darker, hunting tartan.

The Hash Kilt is box pleated to the stripe, as was G’s kilt, a rarely-used traditional method which makes for a more distinctive trail kilt. Hashers everywhere can enjoy the pleasure and comfort of a Hash Kilt, in the tartan of their choice, with the options of the original Sport Kilt, and models for men and women.

As a 6′ 4″ tall male, the Hash House Harriers Hunting Sport Kilt was my first, and by far not my last as I have a closet of them now. The 18″ length is my favorite for Hash House Harrier events, hiking, and running. I find that the 18” length is just right for me, it is light and comfortable to wear. The men’s standard length is a little longer and a great kilt as well. I can’t recommend these kilts enough for men and women who enjoy outdoor adventures and sports, and customer service is amazing. Tell them “Kilted Big Wave” sent you!
