Nice very dark green hunter show coat? Recommendations please!

[ToTheNines]

After years of having chestnuts, I have a grey, and he’s almost white. I always wore navy show coats for the chestnuts, but would like to go with green on my grey boy. Any recommendations for one that is a really dark conservative green? Want technical fabric but traditional – so no zippered pockets or contrast collars. Thank you!

Here’s his picture – let me know if you think green is wrong for him He’s an absolute love for me at my age of 66![ATTACH=JSON]{“alt”:“Click image for larger version Name: William.jpg Views: 1 Size: 19.1 KB ID: 10317039”,“data-align”:“none”,“data-attachmentid”:“10317039”,“data-size”:“medium”}[/ATTACH]

Look at the RJ Classics options, they make several nice dark green options. Can’t remember what style mine is but I love it.

I have an RJ Classics Nora Soft Shell coat in Hunter Green and an Alessandro Albanese Motion Lite in Hunter Green. I like the Motion Lite one much better. It’s a darker green. I first noticed this one on a fellow competitor exiting the ring as I was going in and was drawn to the darker color. Note: the little lapel pin IS removable.

Careful when ordering, though. Some sites have the Motion Lite jacket with contrasting lapel colors; make sure you’re ordering the solid colored one. It’s lightweight and stretchy. I love it so much, I have this jacket in two different colors.

I just got an RJ Classics Nora in a deep hunter green. It almost looks black from a distance. It was on sale for $125 at smartpak

The RJs are super nice, and I also have a Grand Prix that’s nice and dark. Fits beautifully and has held up great!

I will second the AA motion lite. It is AMAZING. Light, breathable, washable, and not too expensive. It’s a beautiful dark green color. I ride and show a grey and looks lovely with her.

A grey horse can wear any color, just like a black horse.

I also suggest the RJ Classics Nora. Modern material with traditional 3 buttons but also has a hidden zipper.

Thank you everyone. I had so much trouble deciding between the AA Motion Lite and the RJ Classics Nora. I think it was a great price on the Nora that swayed me. $180. I think there are a few left. https://vod.ebay.com/vod/FetchOrderD…&ul_noapp=true

But darn, maybe I’ll want the Motion Lite too for summers. Such a pretty dark green.

Interesting, I always thought of green as THE color for a chestnut. I would think blue would be very nice for a grey/white horse. HOWEVER I also encourage you to do whatever you like! Have a blast!!!
