Hunt is on for a mainly black show jacket (or white/grey/silver trim) to use for dressage and jumping. Max budget is about £70 and ideally new, but also hunting second hand.

Ive longish arms (not daddy long legs length tho lol) and tried the Caldene Waterton but sleeves were incredibly short!

Dublin Hobart had lovely arms but cheap shiny looking polyester material, and an oddish body fit.

SO
Have been considering the Just Togs Beverly

or Equi-Theme Competition Jacket.

Does anyone have either of these or can recommend another?

Ive not seen these so can't comment on what they are like, but another jacket you could look at is the Horseware competition jacket. Its about £70 I think and looks smart in pictures I've seen of it.

Ive seen them and they are great for SJ but dont like them for dressage, Need a slightly more traditional look to match my traditional hat.
Im planning on getting something like that next year and a new whitaker hat when ive got spare ££. Good price so thanks for the heads up on them

The horse ware soft shell jackets are vile. I tried one on and it looked like a sack on me, it also looked cheap and nasty.

I have an equitheme soft shell jacket that is really nice. I have gorilla arms and the jacket does not come up short in the arms
