Anyone want to do some shopping for me?

[ElleSkywalker]

Rather sadly, my old heavy long wax riding jacket has passed on, it was sudden and unexpected and after 16 years together very sad

Still onwards and upwards, I seem to be having trouble find a replacement, I don't really want a wax one again (poor 'Waxy' just to hard to replace, sniff) but want the same style, ie goes over your legs and back of saddle.

Am midget small so probably a size 8 or 10 or a childs one might fit, no preference to colour, and no idea of budget, but no more than a couple of hundred, preferably much less

Cheers bored shopping addicts, once you have found that I have another little mission for you

Ps, you know what will happen if I fork out loads on a lovely new waterproof..........

Pps, please all take a moment to pay our repects to all old and broken coats we have had since our youth *bows head*

Can you tell I'm bored

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Hurrah for boredom!!

I love the Driz-bone one, but ouch at price, although maybe it would last longer than the cheaper ones?! It has to beat 16 years

Would you like another little mission?

 

[hoorayhenry]

I'll have ago at another mission

 

[hoorayhenry]

Oooh if you like it why not treat yourself Sure you'll look very smart

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Ok, I want to find a company that makes thin cotton numnahs/saddle cloths, no deads sheeps for me

Need to make high wither ones, and........be made in the UK!! Aerborn used to make their numnahs in UK but don't anymore (if they still exsit) as the company was sold a few years ago.

Sooo, a company who makes thin saddle cloths etc in the UK is your mission, and of course somewhere to buy said numnahs from

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Oooh if you like it why not treat yourself Sure you'll look very smart

I like your style any chance you can have a chat with my OH later to convince him??!!

 

[hoorayhenry]

Ooooh, This sounds a little more complex I accept the challenge

Now just need to talk OH into the Driza-bone coat and nuumed into making me a green saddle cloth

 

[hoorayhenry]

How did the talk go did you succeed and end up with a nice jacket and lots of lovely nummnahs??

If you are still looking for a long riding coat try jack murphy.

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Kat that's what I got in the end!

Was busy convincing OH that he ought to get me the drizabone one when a chum text to ask if I wanted to ride (in the pouring rain) so I popped to local feed shop & they had some Jack Murphy ones

Still working on the drizabone one tho
And will be ordering a saddle cloth (they make them in green, yay!) & some other bits this week

Well done HH
