Show shirts ?? ....

[ColleenIsh]

Where can I find one to match a green tweed .... was thinking of a light jade green colour to match the jacket .

The jacket I got is a green tweed from shires .

Shires dont seem to do any shirts

How about a creamy coloured one - and then have a brighter coloured tie?
You can either dye a cheap shirt from Tescos, or buy one from one of the showing shops - but these are around £25 each so are quite pricey. Having said that, they are very good quality and last for several seasons if you look after them. You can dye a shirt by putting it in a hottish wash with a cheap yellow duster.

Designer Browbands and Mrs Candy both do nice ladies shirts. One of our Show Ring members has a shop in ROI - website http://www.chshowing.com/ - I am sure she would be able to help.

Caldene do show shirts in every colour! You can get them at most local tack shops and online I think

If you are worried about being a little hot during the summer months, then I can thoroughly recommend the Tequestyle shirts. They're not cheap but are totally breathable and wash up really well.

Agree love my tequestyle shirt, looks smart but is nicer to wear when you have a tweed jacket on and its baking hot.

The trouble is with these shirts is that they are not sold by the collar size - and if I buy one in "my" size, invariably the collars are too large for me. Baggy collars look dreadful (although strategically placed tie pins to hold the tie up do help a little.)

think it was that mint colour I was looking for in the tequestyle shirt .

Thanks

I have had a Tequestyle one for 3 years now and it is worth it's weight in gold! Washes great every time at 30c, and NO ironing.
Can't be bad!

Anyone know where you can get a Carribean Camouflage show shirt? White on the collar and bib, jungle pattern on the rest of the shirt.
