Where to get budget hacking jacket?

[measles]

I need a hacking jacket to wear at 3-4 shows this year showing our youngster in potential WHP youngstock classes. As it will only get a few outings I really don't want to pay £200. Any suggestions where to get a jacket without paying the earth? Can't see anything on ebay and first show is a week on Saturday.

I got my Shires one for £55 It is really smart & looks twice the price.

Thanks for that. Where did you get it?

Have you tried Equestrian Clearance?

I have the Shires Huntingdon for around £80 and it looks just like a Pretty Ponies jacket. Lovely jacket, and a far better price.

Charity shops! You wouldn't believe the amount of hacking jackets that end up there, I've even seen well branded 100% wool jobbies, shame I've not found one in my size though. Same goes for kids jackets, given the amount they grow you can always find a cheap second hand one.

Other than that, Shires are a good budget brand. There's one with a self-coloured velvet collar that I've seen for under £60.

I would agree with Shires, mine was about £65 and I love it. It's a really flattering fit.

Ahhh Tequila Sunrise!!! Was trying to think of the name when doing the fave HHO horses yesterday do'h! Anyway......

My friend who is 5ft 3 fits into the kiddy hacking jackets which are considerably cheaper than the adult versions. Apologies if your tall!

I'm tall, but width-wise

Do the Shires jackets come up big or small?

The sherwood ones are about £40 and are very good indeed for the money. Available in shops and also on Ebay...
