I first saw Flying Changes at Olympia and vowed to treat myself to a jacket at some point in my equestrian career. The following year I tried some jackets on, falling in love with the style and fit of the Charlotte. I have a long back, so the made-to-measure service was essential. I also prefer a longer fit in jackets and need extra length arms to allow for stretching over fences when jumping. My first jacket, in the stretch technical fabric, was simply amazing to ride in, and prompted many compliments. I take pride in my turnout, and my Flying Changes jacket certainly enhanced my desire to look the part! Then I needed a navy wool jacket for showing in evening performances. I hunted for something to fit the bill, but all the off-the-peg hunt coats were unshapely and heavy. I decided to contact Flying Changes, to see if they could make me a hunt coat in the style of my beloved Charlotte. Of course, the answer was yes, and my request for a plain navy wool jacket, with plain buttons, Tattersall check lining and no logo was honoured. Jacket no.2. Another visit to Olympia prompted another little look at the Flying Changes stand. I had been riding my showing classes in an old, second hand tweed for about twenty years.....so felt it was perfectly acceptable to look for a new tweed. Would I be able to get a lightweight 'tweed' fabric, which fitted and hung well, but didn't roast me in the summer months? Of course...so jacket no. 3 was created. Traditional in style, lightweight in fabric, and beautiful green with red stripe. No...more...jackets....three is enough! However.......my longstanding desire was to have a pinstriped jacket at some point. There was no question as to where it would come from. Flying Changes stepped up yet again with a stunning navy pinstriped fabric. This time I went for subtle blue accents along the collar and pockets, and a blue lining, complimented by antique silver buttons. Four Flying Changes jackets.....I am indeed very lucky......
