Looking for new hacking/ tweed Jacket?

[JoBo]

What’s have you got or what is your favourite? Really love the new Musto one but £250 is pushing it a bit. I’m a size 14 and curvy (with long arms).

Any ideas?

Oh that’s lovely, nice cut, how do the sizes come up? Not bad price either.

I have a pretty ponies tweed jacket and absolutely love it- more so because RRP is £195 and I picked it up secondhand (near new condition) for £40!

I have really long arms and this seems to be generous in this department. Unfortunately they are in lancashire as they do a really good alteration service when you buy from new and gives a great fit but bit of a trek from kent! http://www.prettyponies.co.uk/levels.asp?level_id=168

Oh £40, bargain! They look really nice, really like this one!

Would that be ok for dressage?

I have gone up from my normal size but I have ridic horse who overjumps everything so needed a bit more room

but a couple of others have caldene jackets at my yards and are in their normal sizes

I love my shires one! http://www.shiresequestrian.co.uk/shop/product.php?productid=104&cat=609&page=1 they show it in blue here, id recommend the green herringbone. I'll pm you a pic of it in the green if you want!

I use mine for eventing, and mine is green with red and gold overcheck on it, I would have said absolutely fine for dressage I love their tweeds and think they look very smart in any sphere. I just looked at the musto one- now shower proofing show jackets that is a fantastic idea, the number of times you take waterproof off for a 6 minute dressage test and end up sodden, cold and miserable.

I'm a curvy 14 too (5'8) and my Caldene fits beautifully

I've got the Shire's jacket in the dark green. It's gorgeous, with a gold/navy fine overcheck.

I have a really nice Tagg jacket. The new Musto one looks lovely though.

OK I am really thick. I am also looking for a new hacking jacket but I have to confess I do not understand the sizing! I would probably want a size 16 as I have wide shoulders and would like to be able to fit a BP underneath (I hate them over the top) - so what size in inches is that?

i've got a caldene and i love it! its really smart and was only just under £100
