Whitethorn kit
The Whitethorn kit has been redesigned!
Whitethorn's kit is now a white shirt, blue skirt, and distinctive red waistcoat. We wear black tights/stockings, black bar clogs, beads, badges, and bells on our wrists and feet.
Band kit for the men similarly consists of blue corduroy trousers, red waistcoat, striped shirt and flat cap. All our kit is meant to represent the style of dress appropriate to the period when most of our dances were collected.
