i used to have a Just Togs jacket. velvet collar,gold trim, 3 gold buttons that had a horses head on them. comfy too

 

[tizer]

What sort of price tag are you looking at?

 

[peterthepony]

PM me as i have one for sale atm!

 

[eventergirl87]

ummmm £150ish tops i would think

 

[tizer]

Try Shires they do a in expensive navy jacket and then if you want to make it bit different change the buttons, john lewis do a good selection and get someone to sew a edge round the collar and then it'l look like you've got a expensive jacket, I know it sounds a bit blue peter like but it works believe me i've done it. the jackets are about £50!

Alexanxer James do a decent navy heavyweight wool jacket at around £150 or so. I have one - it's very smart/

If you are long in the body then Dublin jackets are great, I also may happen to know someone who has one they want rid of.

I would get a woollen one as they are so much smarter. My sister got hers second hand for about £30 (when she was 13 - 10 years ago) and it is lovely. I think it was caldene or Rosette (?). She also managed to get her hacking jacket for £30 which is also lovely. I paid £60 for my derby house jacket and navy one was my mums before I was born!

I would try second hand as I rarely see jackets nicer than my sisters.

I have an alexander james wool navy coat and as kirstyfk said the woollen coats are much smarter. A friend has a derby house woollen jacket and its lovely http://www.derbyhouse.co.uk/ProductDetai...ryID=LadiesJack

Pikeur jackets are gorgeous, they are very flattering to wear.

I have an Alexander James tweed jacket and love it. If I was buying a nice Navy one I would go for that make!

 

[jess_asterix]

i think equiports are worth the money! they are soooo comfy, and wash really nicely! but before mine i had a really nice pikeur one which i also loved!

 

[FMM]

I find the equiports are more "fashion" cut if you know what I mean. Difficult to explain, but I found it was emphasising my less than impressive top half which I felt gave the wrong effect. It probably looks great on the right figure, but it made me look a bit odd.

id personaly go for caldene they are good quality and relitavely cheap. have a look on www.bluepony.com discount jackets there

 

[air78]

I've got a Pretty Ponies MTM wool one which is beautiful!
I think it cost about £200 but i thought that was quite cheap for MTM?
I want one of their tweed ones too now!
