and so soft and good quality i absoluetly love it, its really classy i shall try and find a link!
 
i used to have a Just Togs jacket. velvet collar,gold trim, 3 gold buttons that had a horses head on them. comfy too
 
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!
 
argh sorry i really cant find it, but heres a pic of me wearing it!

sorry they really arent the best pictures but they will give u an idea!
im sure if i searched a bit harder i cd find it !! but i have revision to do!
 
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 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.
