Tweed Jacket recommendations

[Jambarissa]

I barely compete but sometimes end up driving friends to shows so may as well take one of mine for an in hand class.

I have an ancient tweed jacket, I looked for a new one a while back but they're deeply unflattering - shorter and squarer than they used to be with no shape to fit a woman's body.

At recent show I saw people wearing some lovely jackets, they were longer and were shaped to actually have space for boobs.

I'm going to have another look. Any recommendations please?

I have a Dublin tweed jacket. It has a flattering cut and is relatively light weight too which is great

Mine is by Equetech, I think, its not too thick or heavy and wasn't too expensive either.
This is mine, I didn't pay that much so must have got it in a sale

Classic 720g green herringbone tweed riding jacket with brown/canary check, flap pockets, luxe gold lining. Ideal for hunting, eventing & autumn shows.

Mears keepers tweed or similar is what a good number use at upper end of showing, not cheap but last for years as v good quality.
Worth looking 2nd hand too if traditional longer style is what you want.

I have a Dublin and an Alan Paine, both secondhand (FB and ebay) and are lovely, flattering jackets.

I bought 2 mears tweeds off ebay cheaply and they are great, worth a look on there

Shires Aubrion ones are gorgeous and really reasonable!

Agreed! My step daughter has a gorgeous one and I wanted the same. Got one from Vinted for £40. Mine is brown and green but quite a lot thicker than hers. Would be great for hunting but too warm for summer showing. SD's is much lighter though.

I have Alexander James. Purchased many years ago 30, still good as new. You choose the cloth, style, velvet, lining etc, send measurements and they make it. It wasn’t overly dear at the time.

Second Equetech. I do also have an Alexander James one which was lovely and made to measure but nice off the shelf one really like my Equetech. I have a Mears navy one and that is a beautiful fit.

I was going to suggest Alexander James as well. I got mine about the same time as you and it is also still going strong. I get the lighter weight tweed and it has stood up to pouring rain and bright sunshine equally well.

I have a Caldene Southwold, it’s a lovely fit. It’s for sale at a sensible price as sadly I’ll never need to wear it again. Size 38.
