Blue jacket, black tack, black boots, what colour gloves?!

[Jesstickle]

Because I usually buy brown but I am starting to wonder whether black would make more sense and I need some new ones and now can't decide what to order (historically I have had brown tack so brown hasn't seemed so weird and I prefer brown...)

Who would have thought gloves could be so damn complicated!

brown

I'd probably go blue to match the jacket, but then I have no taste

 

[Jesstickle]

O no don't say that. I can't have more options. Two was bad enough!

 

[stencilface]

I really hope I can compete next year, I can't wait to buy a new jacket, mine is so old and awful!

Brown

Not much help, but I'm having the same problem! Although some of my tack is brown, some is black (whether it's dressage or jump, not at the same time!)

I'm debating between black and brown gloves, I've gone for black but I'm not convinced it looks right. Will keep an eye on this thread

 

[Jesstickle]

Well I wish I didn't have black tack. I don't like it. But I ended up buying it as it fitted and now I am stuck here!

But people don't seem to think brown would be weird so that is good because that is what I like. Phew.

Black gloves traditionally should not be worn as they depict mourning (at least in the show ring!)
Brown gloves can never be wrong and are always worn in the show ring.
Hope that helps?

Brown! Unless the horse is very pale, when cream can hide hands better

Definitely not weird, I'd think black and navy were weird for competition!

 

[Jesstickle]

I didn't know that's why I didn't have black gloves jnb but I know they aren't ever correct for showing! But then nor is black tack and I have that now somehow.

Brown it is then. Or blue. Ariat do actually make them in blue so that is another option I guess...

 

[Lolo]

Blue and you'd look a bit odd unless it's a perfect match...

 

[Jesstickle]

Think I'll just order some brown ones as usual then
