當馬穿西裝上賽場 人模馬樣笑CRY

Amid the throngs at a day at the races, tweed suits are a common sight –among the two-legged fans at least.

人山人海的賽馬場上，粗花呢套裝是常見的裝束——至少人類粉絲是這樣的。

So race-goers at tomorrow's Cheltenham Festival will be forgiven for stopping in their tracks if they come across race horse Morestead, who has a tweed ensemble all of his own – complete with shirt, tie and customised cap.

所以，在明天(3月15日)的切爾滕納姆賽馬節上，如果觀衆因爲邂逅賽馬莫爾斯特德而駐足，也就情有可原了，因爲那匹賽馬將穿着自己的一整套粗花呢亮相——包括襯衫、領帶和定製的帽子。

The tailor-made Harris Tweed outfit is the world's first three-piece suit for a horse, and was unveiled by Morestead and champion jockey Sir Tony McCoy ahead of this year's festival.

這套量身定製的哈里斯毛呢是世界上首套爲馬裁製的三件套裝，由賽馬莫爾斯德和冠軍賽馬師託尼·麥考伊於今年賽季前發佈。

It was specially commissioned by bookmaker William Hill and designed by former Alexander McQueen apprentice Emma Sandham-King, who spent four weeks creating the outfit, which required ten times as much fabric as the equivalent human suit.

這套服裝是由博彩公司威廉希爾公司特別委託定製的，由英國時尚教父亞歷山大·麥昆從前的得意弟子埃瑪·桑達姆-金設計，耗時四周，其所有面料相當於人類套裝的10倍之多。

In all her team of seamstresses used more than 18 metres of tweed shipped in from the Isle of Harris.

埃瑪的裁縫團隊用了18米粗毛呢，所有面料都是從哈里斯島運來的。

"Tweed is undergoing a massive revival and this year’s Cheltenham Festival will see the most tweed worn since the 1960s."

"當下正流行粗毛呢復古風，今年的切爾滕納姆賽馬節上會看到自上世紀60年代以來最多的毛呢服裝。”

This year's Cheltenham Festival begins tomorrow and lasts until Friday.

今年的切爾滕納姆賽馬節會從明天開始，週五結束。
