I'm sure my (probationary) Style thread membership will be revoked for this but... where can I buy a hacking jacket?

[LydiaTheTattooedLapin]

NOT a proper riding one that will cost £300, I mean a tailored, single breasted jacket in a fine tweed or windowpane check sort of pattern? Can't find one anywhere...

what on earth for?

Country casuals?Eastex?Other concessions for old ladies in department stores

oh god I saw one the other day
[rummages]

Ho ho ho...

I have a lovely fitted jacket (Jaeger, no less) that looks great with slim dark jeans and brown boots, but it is completely worn out.

oh of course

I'm suprised you won't be riding in it

no we need more info come on lapin pray tell why do you need it, what occasion exactly dictates that you must have one of these?

No secret showjumping hobby we know of?

Would look lovely on horseback as well

Ooh MrsB, almost but not quite, thank you. More sort of this shape?

Is that Selina Scott?!

I don't ride anymore

So were you a child pony club star?

How about this one ?

It's a real one though, not a pretend one.

That's a lot of money for a frumpy tweed jacket though isn't it?

Too.... tweedy

More like this, I suppose.

Basically a single breasted suit jacket in brown tones!

the Sylvia one?

Sylvia too black, and also a very thick material (tried it on yesterday). But thank you!

Did you try on the Polly one too?

hmm

no lapels

drooling over those jackets MrsBadger

I had one like that when I was into showjumping...got it from a riding shop though. Have you tried any rding shops lapin? or do you not want it to be an obvious looking riding jacket?

Does it have to be tweed?

This one isn't but is chestnut in colour.

Ooh I like Zena but not the lapels

100x, I tried something that looked exactly like Polly, but the back was about a foot longer - DH PHSL
