Could I get away with this as a show jacket?

[chickeninabun]

As title really, it's cheap and black

ETA: I won't be doing many shows, just local low-key stuff/Riding club, so don't want to spend a fortune and this is in the sale.

For unaff showjumping then yes, but it is the wrong cut, has too long a collar, buttons on the pockets etc.

just ebay! I once had a £10 showjacket off there.

I can't see your picture as I'm at work, but I got my black show jacket off ebay for £1.99! It looked a bit scruffy/ dirty in the pics so noone was bidding and I got it. Gave it a good wash and it's fine

 

[destiny11]

I don't think it would look right

What about this one, in sale at mo very good price

This one is only £15 for £30 is pushing the boat out a bit, but thank you for the link anyway! I'll have a browse on Ebay now...

Try the local tack shop, I got mine for £12.00 secondhand and its a Harry Hall, nice quality old jacket.
Ebay is really good too.
I get loads from there.

Narrh sorry but it would look dreadful, if you want a bargain show jacket trot along to York Horse Sales, there is a lady that has a stall outside that sells loads of second hand jackets/gillets/jods, I picked up a beautiful Caldene show jacket, it had been cleaned and it was only £20, plus you can try them on and she has a long mirror so you see yourself in it.

 

[abracadabra]

no, really it will look awful, at any standard of show

have a look out at saddlers ads, sales/local papers ads/ebay/ ask mates if theyve anything old they dont want...

 

[xmariax]

try catlips ....loads of second hand jackets!

 

[Lollii]

I don't think it will look right, I think you will 'feel' wrong so you will end up buying another one anyway!

I went to a horse auction, they had loads of horsey clothes in a seperate auction and brought a Caldene black pure wool jacket for £12.00, it is brand new with the price tag on of £172.99 - it's worth having a hunt around!

 

[abracadabra]

ive got a lovely jacket i need to get round to ebaying, it was a present off OH and cost towards £150 - £200 i think?

ive never worn it, still got the tags/price ticket on...its a 38" jacket and im a size 8!

looks like im playing dress up, lol

 

[Scribbles]

abra - why can't you take it back?

 

[abracadabra]

they wouldnt let me return it, theres nothing wrong with it as they said at the shop, not their fault my OH bought the wrong size, grrr
they only have to take faulty things back really

still, i dont go back there, they werent very nice about it lol

 

[PapaFrita]

I don't think so, sorry. The cut is all wrong.

 

[jhoward]

[JenTaz]

you can get dublin show jackets pretty cheap as they arent exactly top of the range mines wwas only £30 was a bargain compaired to my tweed jacket coming in at just under 100
