I think for how filthy it gets that its not worth spending a fortune on horse branded products whe you can buy similar for cheaper. I stick to shops like primark etc for vest tops t shirts in summer and fleeces in winter

I am a total horsey brand snob, so yes I would think it's worth it!

If you shop carefully in the sales, given that some branded stuff lasts forever it works out far cheaper than 'cheap' stuff. I've just relegated a nice long sleeve tshirt I got for about £2 in Primark last year for £2 to tack cleaning duty as the seam has come apart on the stitching, and the fabric has run so I can't stitch it up again. While reflecting on the fact it'd only lasted a year I realised the Joules sweatshirt I was wearing was bought at just over half price in a sale has been worn and washed at least once a week for the past 4 years and still looks like new, so actually works out cheaper per wearing. I've also got 4 stripy rugby shirts of the 'Cotton club' brand that my EX bought me the second Christmas we were together (he bought it in 4 colourways as he couldn't decide which I'd like best). This means they're 20 years old, and they're also worn pretty much every week apart from the height of the summer.

I buy stuff from Dunnes, I got a shower proof jacket for 15 out of there, the same/similar in a tack shop is at least 50. I also got a fleece for 12 same thing in tack shops is at least 30.

I love Joules - could not justify the cost before but have recently succumbed to my craving for it.
Hardly wore anything horsey label really... that said I do have a very dirty Caldene jacket that needs sorting out (dry clean only - why do they do that!), several breeches, and I even wore a non-horsey Guess gillet out riding (so perfect for riding though!).
However, my most expensive horse clothes were two custom-made breeches with full leather seats - real thick leather, not the thin ones... they cost over £150 each. I heard they were supposed to last years!!! and you know what happened??? OH put them into the dryer!!! End of story, end of breeches!
