I need a ladies show jacket that fits... Preferably a slim fitting one that is quite long in the body, and with long arms too. Every one I have tried on so far is too wide, too short and halfway up my arms. I am 5foot10, about a size 8 or 10 in a t-shirt, and apparently long arms..the best fitting one I found so far was a man's. (Booo hoo)..I don't have big boobs and am really struggling to find something that fits nicely. Is there anyone out there that's an odd shape like me..what's your experience of which makes of jackets will fit me best. I just want something preferably in black that doesn't make look shabby.. or where can I get one made, and how much will it cost... Help please.
 
Have you thought about getting one altered? I had my tweed professionally altered, length and sleeves taken up and taken in at the chest by a tailor for about 25quid :)
 
I sound a similar shape to you! Im 6'0 and a size 10 in tshirt but wear a size 12 jacket as I have broad shoulders and no boobs. The best make I have found is Caldene. Long enough for my 'Gibbon' arms, long enough in the body and cut well.
 
The lady on here who rides fig the ex racer who now does dressage really well is very tall and slim and she has a beautiful show jacket in her pics, you could ask her where she got that one ?

NikkiMariet and PrincessSparkles, both theirs are Pikeurs if I remember correctly. Both tall and slim!
 
I feel your pain. I am a size 10 with long arms although not particularly long in the body and found most jackets too short in the arms. I have just bought a Pikeur Romina which fits me nicely although it is one of their shorter styles. The Epsom and Diana are both longer styles and I believe they do some of their jackets in a Tall fitting which are longer in both the arms and body.
 
Pikeur, sound like the one.. I can't find a stockists near me, Derbyshire/ south Yorkshire border. Really wanted to try one on too.. I will try to order one online... Thankyou to you all
