i love my barbou navy jacket-but im not 100% sure if they make it anymore-there have been a couple on ebay..they are gorgeous-much nicer than a pikeur IMO

I have a Tagg one. It's their expensive one that's 100% wool. Very simple, but that's why I choose it!

im not sure whether to get a wool one or the lighter material

The one I have is very fine and lightweight. I know it's really hard to get the perfect one, as a lot of shops stock a limited range, so you can't just compare them in one session! It took me a few weeks of visiting most of the saddlerys in my area! Good luck.

I have a pic of my navy one in the picture section. It is a really heavyweight cloth which I chose because the heavier weight cloth hangs much better and is more flattering. I am not a very nice shape, so I promise you that the cut is very flattering compared with what I normally look like!

Pikeur ones are lovely - really flattering. Loved mine, until some b*stard stole it

oh no mm! Pikeur arnt cheap either! poor you
ideally i dont want something too heavy because of competing in the summer
