Jackets and Long Leg Jods!
At last we have been able to re-stock on Jackets, and now have the Diva Jacket in Navy in 16, 18 and 20. We could only get the Diva Jacket in Black in 16 and 18 for now, but hopefully will have larger sizes soon. We are also hopeful that the hugely popular Equetech Flexion In-Vent jacket will be back in the Autumn, in time for the winter season.
In terms of Tweed Jackets, we now have a good supply of the Somersby Tweed Jackets in 44, 46 and 48! The Fuller Fillies Vixen Jacket in Golden Brown is also available in 18, 20 and 24.
Great News: we now have both the Jean Genie and Bootleg Jean Genie in LONG LEG LENGTHS! These are very popular lines, for their versatility and durability, so we are delighted to be able to offer these to our taller customers, alongside the Puppi jods in Long.
Fuller Fillies Show Boots and Country Boots have been in huge demand. We still have a reasonable stock, but we are now out of some popular sizes with the next order due in at the end of September. Do email first if you want to check availability.
For those Lukas fans out there, he is now 3 months old, and HUGE! He has eaten great chunks of his mum’s tail, and is full of beans. He is leading well now, which is a relief, and most of the time (!) he remembers he’s not supposed to nip!
I hope you’re all having a fabulous time with your horses. Do email if you need anything you can’t see on the site.
Best wishes,
Wendy
July Newsletter
I can’t believe we’re halfway through July! On the other hand, we’re now running low on Black and Navy Show Jackets, so it’s just as well we’re half way through the summer. Vixen, Ashridge and Somersby Tweeds are still is reasonably good supply, though.
The big talk this month has definately been the Fuller Fillies Show Boots and the Country Boots. As customer feedback flows in we are getting a much better understanding of size, so don’t be afraid to contact us for advice before buying. The Show Boots have proved to be excellent providing you don’t have high arches or particularly chunky ankles. The XW in the Country Boots has shown itself to be very generous indeed, with many customers at the lower end of XW (approx 18″ calves) preferring the Wide to the Extra Wide Boots.
The cool but supportive Enell Low Impact Sports Bra has proved a hit to accompany the well-established High Impact Bra, as a lighter alternative for hot weather and all-day comfort. The hot weather has also led many more customers to try Equetech’s gorgeous Air Flex range of jodhpurs and breeches to keep cool in the saddle. These really are the answer for hard work on hot days!
Plans are afoot to make it to as many shows and events as possible next year. We have already booked our stand at the South West Equine Fair at Westpoint, Exeter for the first weekend of December, so put that one in your diary! My husband won’t be there this year to take the lead in discussing Sports Bras (!) but I’m sure we’ll manage somehow! We will, like last year, have a much-appreciated changing room, and have booked a larger stand in a more prominent position, so should be extra comfy.
I hope you’re all enjoying the summer!
Kind regards,
Wendy
At Last the Fuller Fillies Wide Calf Boots have arrived! We have spent the weekend packing and labelling boot boxes for all the lucky girls who pre-ordered.
The Show Boots look wonderfully smart, and the gorgeous Country Boots are almost enough to make me wish for cooler weather! I’m sure that will come soon enough.
If you have any questions about the sizing and fit of the boots do drop us an email via the ‘Contact Us’ tab.
The Boots arrived just in time to mark the end of our first year in business – what a landmark! Many thanks to all who have supported us thus far.
All the best for now,
Wendy
