what colour tweed!!!

[littlemiss1]

So i've been doing a few local level shows with my dark bay cob i've been borrowing a friends navy tweed which has red over check and looks really nice but i know navy is seen as incorrect . I'm looking to buy my own and although i really like the navy jacket i don't want to spend money on something that people will think I'm dressed wrong in. i have other horses which i would be showing too so what colour tweed would people suggest for a dark bay hw cob and a light grey ID I'm only going to be doing local level showing as this is all new to me

Green or brown tweed with a subtle over check. Nothing too loud for cobs

thank you both there seems so many to choose from its hard to make a decision. I quite liked the look of this one but I'm not sure if it would be suitable

I know it is mainly personal preference, but I think that jacket is too 'loud'. The idea is to show the horse off, not distract the judges eye to the riders jacket Agree with green or a darker brown. The blue being incorrect is much more fashion than actually correct, (blue dye used to be cheaper, so it was a bit infra-dig). It is difficult to find a tweed that works with both bay and grey though, so good luck with the search.

Thank you for your opinion YorksG I'm thinking of mainly showing the grey more than my bay what colour tweed would you think would be better suited to a light grey?

I personally think dark green looks good on anything.
I had that tweed, it's lovely and perfect for ponies but not for horse classes. It's not as bright and in your face as it looks in those photos

I recommend one like this. I have it in adults size (green), although they don't seem to have any left on that site (where I bought it from but in store).

I use it for showing and dressage.
