Show jackets

[dianchi]

As ive now come to terns that i no longer am 16 and cannot fit in my show jacket i have to buy a new one!
But i dont know what to get! Im riding dressage now and wear white jods so i dunno whether to get
Plain blue or a blue tweed one. I also have a blue hat so it has to be navy!
What to people prefer?
Thanks
Sorry just cant make my mind up!

I like tweed jackets personally... Less of them about too!

I only like the really expensive tweeds, otherwise it would be a welling fitting navy

I've got a nice black Pikeur jacket that I wear for both dressage & show jumping.

If your thinking about eventing though you should buy a nice cut tweed.

Have no desire to go eventing thanks! Pony doesnt leave the floor anymore! Think ill just have to see what fits and looks smart

They do some new, very unusual dark blue tweeds which look navy from a distance but are actually tweed (if you are not sure which way to go!)

Ooooooooooooooo where is that from FFM??

All the tweed makers do them - personally I would try Alexander James (the one above comes from Pretty Ponies). They do look very smart, but I can't wear them for my cob classes!

I would definatly go plain navy for dressage. I have a lovely Tagg show jacket, it fits where it should and doesnt cling where it shouldnt.

IMO the solid colour jackets always look more proffesional.
