Riders Custom Clothier was my other label. I know seems an odd name but not for the industry it was in. See I made show clothing for people who show horses. I've done everything from custom tailored hunt coats, (riding jackets) and western show jackets with appliqued designs and sequines and crystals, so I've done some couture work already. If you don't think doing riding cloths is not couture wow you are so wrong. When showing horses you want your outfit different from anyone elses so most outfits are one of a kind. A really great show outfit will cost you $300-$700 and more depending on the time required for construction and of course the fabrics. Great fabrics with stretch can be pricey. Plus when you sew on details you want to make sure they stay put so doing an extra stitch for a button or on a seam makes it worth the cost. Showing horses and riding can be tough on clothing.
The show cloths today are really great statements and are never boring. Let me tell you as a licensed horse show judge here in Wisconsin when you have a ring full of horses that are basically the same color you want to have riders in different colors and patterns so you can keep them all in order.
So thats a bit about my other label.
