Cheap show jackets and hunting jackets....

[H-J]

Where can I find dirt cheap show jackets?!?

Have a nice blue one and a tweed one for comps.

But want a black one for hunting, have a nice thick tweed one with pockets, but everyone had black on on Sat!

So felt a bit of a banana !!

Should it be black? or does it not matter......

To be honest Ebay is probably the best place....all sizes, styles & prices to suit.

I think I am correct in saying that for cubbing everyone should wear tweed and after the opening meet it is black or navy for the ladies, black for gents unless they have the right to wear red.

Personally I prefer navy especially with cream/champagne coloured breeches to match a plain silk stock.

 

[WishfulThinker]

What size??? I might have one for sale

Saddlemaster or craft - cant really remember!! Would need to check wardrobe at home!

Yes I wear cream breeches with cream silk stock, I bl**dy sold my old Dublin navy one, should have kept that!

Not sure what sizes they come in, but usually an 8-10 so spose a 12 in a show jacket?!

Can't really advise, but Black is for hunting proper and tweed is for cubbing.

Navy, or so I have heard, is worn by staff.

I've just sold a lovely navy wool hunting jacket size 10/12 on ebay for £24.00 + postage... I prefer black but I see ladies hunting in both colours so not really sure what is 'correct'.

I brought my black wool hunting jacket second hand from my local tack shop for £30.00 and I love it. The good quality ones will last ages so it is worth buying them second hand.

There are tons on Ebay if you look under Hunting Coats. Ideally you want a size bigger than you usually wear so you can put tons of layers on underneath for hunting when its really cold.

 

[H-J]

Yes thats what I thought. I already had 2 layers on under my shirt on sat! Will have loads on when its real cold!

I bought a black show jacket on ebay for this Sunday's outing and although it's obviously been used it's in pretty good nick and cost me £2.99!!

Have just bid on one for £28 with P&P a wool one, need a wool one really to keep me warm! If I dont win this I have a few weeks to get look out for another on ebay

I have a Dublin or Shires one which was about £40 this summer. Naf thin material but looks great on, cut nicely and ideal for falling off in

It comes in black or navy. You'd want layers under for hunting though, nowhere near as warm as a nice wool jacket!
