Are these jackets vile? Appropriate? Guidance required ladies...

[Burmilla]

So, I've a lovely chestnut brown tweed jacket that I wear for everything low level, with pale cream breeches: should I wear brown boots n brown hat, or black ditto?. Have ultra shiny flashy bay Arab, so don't want to let him down at our first sressage comp in a couple of weeks' time!

Now, Burms, I would say black, but my first post on this thread suggests that I really shouldn't be trusted

Haven't read the whole of this thread but I think on Olive you'd look much better in tweed

Grey/blue? Or a trad green?

I can see now that anything is better than the ringmaster look I first proposed, so embarrassing,

 

[Queenbee]

sorry billie... its a yuck from me too...



I quite like these:
I dont like the first one (its really not my think) as much as the other two, but have added it because you mentioned burgandy

all of the above are reasonable price and by shires, the first two are 'malverns' the third is a 'huntingdon'

Im not sure what they look like in RL.

Ooooh they look lovely QB, thanks for hunting those out. Will have a better look on my laptop later

The Huntingdon is a lovely tweed, looks way pricier than it is

 

[WelshD]

Yes that Huntingdon looks good for the money!

 

[Mongoose11]

Yes, I really do like that one. Now I need some pics of a rider in a green tweed riding a piebald cob, so I get a feel for the look....

A few smartly turned out cobs on here, if it works, it does not seem to so go to this then click on Devon county show, or any of the others you can then find ridden coloured classes and there are plenty to look at, some are in green tweed a few in brown but all are smart

After having a good old search I think I am going for the Huntingdon, but I can't locate the one that QB has posted... It isn't any of these... http://www.barnstormers.co.uk/acatalog/SHIRES_LADIES_HUNTINGDON_JACKET.html

QB, can you assist?

 

[MileAMinute]

I got the Shires one through Robinsons, so check on there.
It's a lovely jacket, fits me perfectly and I'm normally awkward to fit!
Very flattering too

 

[Mongoose11]

Thanks, have just had a look but they have velvet collars unlike QB's pic. I would prefer without the velvet...

This is what Al has...
The third row down...

They are pricey, but they last and last and are cut beautifully. It was Al's first new jacket, as a treat as she'd finished growing. It is now 4 years old and still looks new, and has many more years left in it. Really lovely jacket, flatters her shape and is very comfortable.

They look lovely Lolo, thank you. My budget is about £80 really, I have looked on eBay and they have a Malvern so I'm watching that at the mo but keeping my eyes out for a Huntingdon.


Oooooo I've found it

Ok, so are we unanimous? Fifth picture box, jacket presented with the yellow shirt... Same one that QB suggested...

 

[Lolo]

Looks lovely! Perfect
