Trousers for in-hand showing - where to buy?

[FinellaGlen]

I am looking for some navy blue trousers for in-hand showing. Any ideas where I might get some? I've tried various tack shops and even one specialising in show wear but all I can find is black or beige. I've tried M&S but they had nothing suitable either. Any advice would be most welcome as my first show is fast approaching.

Next, BHS - somewhere that will put a bit of poly in so you can bung them in the washing machine - or how about a pair of mens navy jeans - I wear stone coloured mens jeans from M&S for inhand - you can't see they are jeans when I have my jacket on.

Thanks. I will send OH off shopping again on Thursday. I think the BHS has closed but there is a big Next near to where he works. I never thought of sending him to the men's section in M&S either but that might work........

I get mine from Gap as they do a really nice stretchy one which has a sensible leg shape.

Matalan do some decent ones that are lightweight and comfy. At muddy shows they WILL get caked, so I never pay over the odds for in hand trousers...

Thanks all. I rarely go clothes shopping and have never even been in some of the shops you have mentionned. Sad I know but I live and work in a tiny hamlet and weekends are too precious to waste on shopping when I could be riding or doing something useful. Hopefully my OH will find something suitable this week now that I can present him with a list of shops to try.

I got mine from Hawkshead - heavy cotton and really comfortable.

JD Williams, they are a fashion type catalogue but not too outrageous, also are online and have various styles, good luck.

Hello,

Have you tried any online stores that exclusively deals in trousers for men , i think there you can find your stuff.
