Derby House rugs are currently only £20 each. I just bought a 1680 denier no fill one for £30 (now it's £20, but I don't care because it's such a bargain and arrived within a day with a notified 1 hour time slot for delivery). I have just ordered two others for £20 and they are being delivered tomorrow. Opened the one that arrived today and it's lovely quality and due to its thickness it will last well and stay waterproof for longer. Anyway, just wanted to say that Derby House are on form at the moment should anyone be looking for bargains.
 
I think they've been doing OK for a while - I was impressed when I ordered a coat from them at the end of April.
 
Thanks wagtail, noticed their rugs were on sale but wasn't sure about the quality- would you say they are true to size (comparing to weatherbeeta ) or are they more suited to tb types in fit? Hate buying rugs online incase they have to go back but they are a bargain price!!

They can sometimes be on the small size, but not so much lately. I used to always buy a size up and would still do on a horse that is between sizes, but to be fair, the ones I have bought recently have had plenty of depth and length to them.
 
I've just ordered a 100 gram for the old boy and a 'summer cover' rug for the cob, can't moan at £20 each! They're the only brand I've found that really fit my cob so I always go mad when they have sales on!
 
I bought a 200g combo turnout last winter from them, it did the job well and looked good and will be used again this winter.
 
I'm another one who is very impressed with Derby House - ordered a lightweight rug in their sale at around 10pm Wednesday night, paid for standard delivery and it arrived first thing this morning. Tried it on my broad chested, big shouldered boy and it fits really well and is good quality....so pretty pleased at the mo!!
 
I ordered 6 of them at the start of the year, all great quality & a surprisingly good fit, especially for a tall narrow TB & small squat Dartmoor, I've just got them back after a good clean & they are like new. After I ordered them I started hearing horror stories about DH, but they came within 2 day's. I really don't need anymore but at £20, I may take a look.
 
100% echo all of the above.

I ordered on Saturday evening a cooler rug & some silicone breeches for the grand total of £60.

The cooler is brilliant quality - it's honestly more like a Thermatex than a cooler & the breeches look fantastic too.

Their automated emails told me exactly when it had been processed, dispatched & my order arrived at 8.45am on Tuesday morning right at the start of the delivery timeframe they specified.
 
Yes, me too. I bought a pair of their £30 boots and £20 jods. Both fit and look fab, both were delivered within 48 hrs, really cant complain :)
 
I really like derby house. I didn't know they were having their rug sale! I'll have to grab the sizes from the ponies at the yard - they both need cotton stable sheets and I could do with a fleece rug! Maybe a mediumweight turnout too ;)
 
What are Derby house own jodphurs and breeches like? On offer too ATM for £20 and wondered if it's worth getting a pair!?
 
I have never had problems with Derby House, always been spot on for deliveries, and their quality in rugs and jods etc is usually excellent. I cannot fault them to be honest. It's good to see their reputation is picking up again.
 
Thanks for the heads up, trying to order a couple pairs of jods but I think a few people might be buying as can't seem to check out! Take my money DH!
 
I think the jods are good value, ive got a couple of pairs that are at least 2 years old and still wearing well, being worn 3/4 time a week. True to size and fair quality
 
Me too. Ordered a cow print rug for my girl and it arrived within two days. Only problem was she kept seeing it and took off round the field for five minutes after I put it on tonight.
