pink coat

Blush-colored jacket garment

A pink coat is the scarlet jacket worn by fox hunters, also called a hunting pink.

Despite the name, the color is distinctly red—the origin of "pink" here is disputed, possibly referring to a tailor named Pink or to the verb meaning to cut decoratively.

The master of hounds arrived in his pink coat.

The term distinguishes formal hunt attire from ordinary riding clothes.
