XC/Event shirts -where did you get yours?

[Dukey]

This season I promised to treat myself to a new event shirt, I like the Racesafe ones but ordering looks complicated! Any recommends?

 

[Squiggles on Paper]

I know a few people and when I did unaff I used CustomXC

 

[GlamourPuss86]

Custom xc look lovely and I've heard good things about them

 

[Jnhuk]

Love my event shirt from Treehouse sporting colours - worth every £

 

[Copperpot]

I have 2 sets from custom XC.

I go my from treehouse, well my hat silk, I like the look of the event shirts but at 80 or so they aren't cheap. I ended up buying a Nike sport top the same colour as the diamonds on my hatsilk with long sleeves as this was cheaper. But it's very comfortable an really good match colour wise

I have just ordered from custom xc so will see what the quality like when it comes

Custom XC

Had a bit of trouble getting in touch with them as something went awry with my order, but other than that, very good.

These are mine...

I'm considering the next set to be BRIGHT PINK though

I just have a walking style base layer in electric blue which looks really good and fits really nearly under my body protector.

Other than that I love the look of the treehouse event shirt but can't afford one at the minute! I would love kingfisher and white checkered

 

[Dukey]

Ooo thanks for the suggestions, I'm off to check out the websites now. EBay could be a good call... Any others let me know, thanks x

I used *************.co.uk and they were very good, always get compliments from other yards (I have navy blue background with white stars in a stardust pattern- lots of different shaped stars- very nice) in a wicking type material top and hat silk. I think the whole set was about £40 or so.

 

[Blythwind]

I love the treehouse event shirts but they seem so expensive. Has anyone come across a similar item with lower price tag?

 

[photo_jo]

Don't forget when you order colours that anything on the front or back is a waste of money as it will be hidden by your back protector and number!

 

[tigger2]

Got mine from Equester..they are fab!!

 

[2horsesnomoney]

Dusty85 - could you pm me with who you used? good price !

 

[GlamourPuss86]

Those of you with 'custom xc', any of you got the glittery stuff? I keep going back to black and gold glittery stars!

 

[suzi]

I am looking at a custom xc base layer. Thinking of a coloured base with black stars....but what colour?! Have a black horse so most colours are ok....

Currently drawn to pink or purple...perhaps I need to see what matching saddle cloths I can get?!?

Have only heard good things about custom xc but don't know anyone who has glittery stuff.

 

[MorvenGirl]

I really rate my treehouse event shirt as it makes changing for XC a lot quicker as I just need to take my show jacket and stock pin off then put my BP and number on (saves stripping down to bra to put XC shirt on!)

It looks very smart with dark green and white checks on the sleeves (hat silk to match) it dries quickly and washes well too.

I'd been pestered by my mother and sister on what i'd like for birthday and Christmas presents so asked for this as a combined gift and they were more than happy to oblige.

 

[miskettie]

I bought from this person on ebay (click here). I don't like the modern material for xc shirts and some cheap rugby shirts are a bit stiff. However this lady makes them from poloshirts. I asked for a long sleeve one and she added the extra length to them and other little customisations. They are actually pretty good quality and very good price.

I can't wait to try them out this year!

 

[GlamourPuss86]

I had a hat cover made by that lady miskettie! It's ben fab

 

[Cello_song]

Sorry to hijack the thread, but h have a sort-of-related question!

Currently looking to but a xc shirt - have some spring hunter trials lined up

However, have not done xc in 12 years, and last time I did I'm sure it was 'rules' to wear a shirt and stock under the xc shirt? Is this still the case?

 

[Mbronze]

I have just ordered off customxc, hopefully my order will be with me by next weekend for my first event. Yikes, excited is not the word!

 

[Dukey]

Thanks for all the replies, I've gone with custom xc so I'll update you on how good it is!
