hunt coat rehoming....

[posie_honey]

due to loss of weight i'm after a new hunt coat - preferably navy...

and have two ones that need rehoming - a LW caldene wool one (perfect for mild days - i bought it for hunting in the US where it was very warm at the start of the season) and a traditional HW good quality thick wool one - unsure of make - will check - but has tattersall lining etc - both black and i'll check size but i think both are 38"

sooo good folks of H&H - where am i best to find a replacement (2nd hand - can't afford good quality new) and where is best to sell/rehome mine?

Thanks

Ebay is good for 2nd hand - some beautiful quality wool types come up now and again

ETA - sell on ebay too!

Ditto the above, ebay is great for buying and selling hunt coats. Could you PM me some more details on the ones you have for sale as I may be interested. I'm a size 10/12 so don't know if a 38 may be a bit big.

This website is also pretty good:

thanks guys

Aniseed - i wouldn't be able to sell until i've bought a new one but i'll keep you posted - i'll also check exact sizes - they may well be 36" - i'm not too sure

 

[Aniseed]

Well you look very small in your pics! I would deffinitely say more of a 36 than 38.

 

[posie_honey]

that's post weight loss

ETA - this is the LW in action - opening meet in US:

and HW: last season - you can see its too big for me here even with jumpers on

I am in the same boat PH, I very foolishly bought a Mears Pytchley hunt coat off a friend not long after I had a baby - too big for me now. It says 36" on the lable, but I think it's more like a 38", 'cause I have a 38" (different make) hacking jacket that fits me where as the Pytchley drowns me!

Ditto, i am waiting for one of the Ebay free listings weekend for my Swaine Black and Alexander James Navy Jackets so i can catch buyers before the opening meet

If any of you guys want to pm me more details I may be interested as desperately trying to find something second hand.

I think we have exchanged PMs re. mine before.

I would like PMs re. ones smaller than mine in black please!

I would be interested in a Black one needing a home. Not sure what size but I would be a 14 usually I think that's a 38?

If anyone is interested, Calcutts saddlery sell second hand hunt coats, I just got a lovely heavy black wool one for £40 - I would assume they would do mail order if you asked. also Field and Country Antiques often have nice coats in. I watched ebay for months and months waiting for the right coat and eventually gave up!

Mine's would fit someone size 14

i could be interested if anyone has one that might fit me. my showing tweed is a 38, but i like to wear my BP under my hunt jacket so would need a 40 if anyone's got one needing a new home?

 

[posie_honey]

well neither of mine have a size on them! doh!! only had a quick look last night - once i'm back from riding i'll have a go at measureing them - all ik know is my showing tweed as in my siggy is 34 and fits perfectly with some room - whereas my hunt coats are large on me so def 36 or 38... i'll find out and let you all know - but they were still rommy when i was a 36" bra size....so i image 38"...

 

[Aniseed]

Blimey Mavis £40 is a bargain. Good find!

 

[posie_honey]

i've still not found one but when i do i'll def respond to those who i think they may fit!

I need a HW black or navy in 36 if anyone has one going spare! My hunt coat is lovely but too light weight for the cold!
