Beautiful coat. Well made with light padding and nylon lining so it glides on. Slim fitting and very stylish. I have bought this to ride in as it has a back slit and skirt to sit over the saddle and leg straps but it is a lot less voluminous than most riding coats and that’s why I like it as it is not likely to fill up and flap about whilst the weather spooks your horse !! A much safer long coat to ride in. However, I wore it for work last week when it poured it down in the morning and the hood is super roomy with a stiff peak bit so it can be shaped to how you like it and I had so many lovely admiring comments that I may have to get another so I can wear one for going out in and the other for riding in!!
