Help me pick a Saddlecloth!

[_April_]

I want to spend some of my Christmas money on a nice new posh saddlecloth to wear when show jumping.

April's 'colours' in general are Navy and pale blue and my jacket and hat are Navy so I think I have decided on either -

White with Navy, Pale blue binding
White with Pale Blue/Silver binding
or
Navy with Pale Blue binding

Opinions? I'm so dithery!

Also the only ones I can find at the moment are those velvet John Whitaker ones... are they really chavvy or can we pull it off??
I don't want to stand out but I just want something subtle and classy(ish!).
Any other brands I should try?

thanks xx

I think the john whitaker ones are really smart so i would go for one of them as they arent chavy either

Cheers Hattie, I also think they look nice! Have read a fair few posts on here slating them though lol.
Shouldn't matter what anyone thinks I guess but am worried I am turning into a bling person as I liked all the browbands at Olympia too

I blame HHO's influence!!

Any thoughts on what colour?

Eskadron do a good selection in the colours you have picked.

I am so anti-chav and anti-bling, but even I, have a JW velvet saddlecloth, it navy blue with red and white piping, as it was bought for a grey jumping pony, but is now worn by my dark bay TB, who I might say caries it off quite well!
As I like the understated I would go for white with navy and pale blue piping, they is well classy, aayyyeeee!

With April's colour being darker, I think she can get away with wearing most colours. I adore navy and it is indeed my colour of choice for accessories....as well as a bit of pink of course.

Have you thought about a Gold binding, with the navy, as that will really look quite smart.

White with pale blue/silver binding!

I've been searching for a John Whitaker one in those colours for ages, are you getitng yours online? If so can I have the link please?

Thanks Ladies!

I went for white with navy and pale blue in the end, shall do some parading at our next SJ thing on the 5th

I do love Pink too Huggy but not on poor April, also I like to blend in when jumping incase I shame myself LOL
