Newfie fashion

This week was spirit week at school and each day of the week was a particular theme. These are photos from the Newfie dress-up day.

Left to right: Snowshoes, a bucket with a mop wring (the two wooden  looking handles come together to squeeze water out of the mop), two punts, a glass washing board, a lobster cage, old fashion fishing reel with green fishing line. 

Holding a fishing reel with a jigger (hook)

The orange boots are rubber boots with toe protectors against chain saws.
On the right is someone with chest waders which are rubber boots attached to rubber overalls for fishing in the river.  

Left to right: Salmon fishing vest for the multiple and colourful flies the fishermen use as bait.
Orange vest for hunting in the woods so other hunters can see you.
Furry woods hat to keep warm. Yellow fishing rain jacket. 

Left to right: More orange and reflective strips for visibility.
Orange beanie (tuque) so hunters won't shoot at your head by mistake.
Balaclava for blocking wind on a snowmobile.

Camouflage baseball cap, jacket, pants, rubber boots for duck hunting. The guns permitted in duck hunting have a shorter range and therefore the hunters need to be closer to their target and blend in with their environment. The girl has a black and white plastic duck hanging from her backpack which is used as a decoy. Hunters toss the decoy in the water and wait for the real ducks to congregate around the decoy. 

Left to right: Newfie ladies in the past with home sew dresses, an apron, a head covering and rubbers.
More camo attire which is popular to wear as everyday attire for young people,
 just like now sweat pants and hoodies are the attire on anglo-Canadian university campus.

Me in my new pair of rubbers (great for slush and puddles), a heavy checkered red and black woods jacket which can be reversed to reveal orange on the other side for hunting.
