Those of you on the hunt for rust breeches. Crofton Dominion has them for the ridiculous price of 10.00 pair!!!
Nothing is wrong with them. Apparently they just have been in the stores for years. They have been discounted over and over again. There are racks of them! 
I bought out my size (not telling WHAT size) for everyday use, but there is plenty left.

I would love to find a pair of TS rust in my size…I’ld look so much cooler than everyone else while schooling. So…if any of you all see some in a 32R that is a good deal during your travels I would love a heads up! You’ld think they would come back in style soon…
$10 for TS?? What’s WRONG with them? Just because they’re rust? I LOVE rust!! Are they at all of the locations?? Oh, I’m calling NOW.
Merry> I’m from the west coast but I don’t think I’ll be joining you, going to Indio wearing rust breeches. I don’t want to be blamed for help starting that craze. not to mention what my trainer would do to me if she saw me wearing rust breeches. I shudder to think 
My breeches just came in! I hate them! One pair is Brittany (???) and the other is TS, but both are front zip and neither seems to be of very high quality. I’m sending them back.
I think the COTH boards should singlehandedly bring back rust britches (breeches?). OH please does anyone have a pair of 34s around? Yeah, yeah – I haven’t lost all my pregnancy weight YET. LOL. Or any 34s in any side zip?
Zebra belt? Sure. My former pair of schooling chaps were black with faux zebra trim and a zebra yoke. And I strolled around the show grounds on my black and white pinto WB mare. Was I stylin’ or what? 
(My current pair is drab ol’ tan). Anyhoo, about the belts. One day I was at a huge tack sale, looking at belts. I was oogling the ones with the “silver” medallion doo-dads on them, the horsehair braiding, etc. One fellow AA rider looks at them, looks at me, and says, “Cute, but you can’t show in them.” Says who? So now I have this rather gaudy western style belt, complete with a silver, gold and gemstone buckle (a small, elegant 3-piece buckle, mind you) that my mare won as a highpoint at a charity show. Of course, it’s all kept under wraps most of the time, hidden under the sedate Grand Prix coat, TS breeches and Essex shirt. There’s just this cowgirl waiting to burst out of me. Sort of like when I worked at Disneyland. I was always getting in trouble for wearing argyle knee socks under my Haunted Mansion dress. 
wait…am I missing something here??? Are rust breeches coming BACK??? AAAAAAAAA!!! NOOOOOO!!! please tell me that you are just buying them for schooling or else im going to have horrible 4H flashbacks!!! <<sigh>>
Ok, Maybe I’m challenged, but I just tried calling the Crofton store and got some weird beep thing…not like a fax, but a beep. Maybe they are sick of COTH BBers calling them about their TS rust breeches!! I called 410-451-2174. That’s right, isn’t it? AUGH. I’ll try again. Don’t know why I’m posting this, I know you guys can’t do anything about it but I’m killing time before redialing. 
WHOO-HOO! I FINALLY got through and have two pair on the way!! Watch out West Coast…here comes the rust! I really hope these make a come back…I just love rust. I know, I’m warped. I think it’s because my very first pair of breeches were rust. The Dominion girl was laughing because of the sudden popularity of rust!!
Flash what size are they? You can email me if you prefer! LOL!
Ummm, J.T., I might have a pair of 34 rust Harry Hall’s for you somewhere in my closet from that “post pregnancy” stage…If I find them and if I don’t need them (after 19 years I hope to be over the post-preg thing)…
[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cactuskate:
[B]My TS’s came too. One pair were the nice more “current” fabric, side zip, just lovely, in rust! The other pair were front zip and that fabric that reminds me of the old Harry Hall’s? Probably was out there during my hiatus from riding.
Exactly!! I had the same thing happen!! I ordered two sizes…one is the nice side zip, normal colored rust and the other is a front zip organge color!! Yuck. Ok, I’m a big fan of rust breeches, but I won’t be wearing those beyond the barn for schooling! I WILL, however, wear the nice ones to a show. I’ll do it! I swear!

Actually this could tie in quite nicely with other recent fashion trends- I can hop off my horse and change into my flared (boot-cut) jeans and slip on my pointy-toed thick-sole adidas sneakers and Charlie’s Angel T-shirt and sunglasses. Heck, even feathered hair is back in (or was that yesterday? LOL) I will however draw the line at wearing a headscarf…
Does this mean that brown tall boots are the next thing to return?? Hurray, so cool looking.
Flash, I’ve had a pair of brownish (I call them cocoa) TS for aver a year. I think they are great - not purple at all.
Whoever thought that green goes with navy? Or a lot of the newer jacket colors?
Give me gray! I now have two gray horses (one’s steel, the other dapple) and I hate the green on them. But, the cocoa isn’t that great; neither is the havana tack…
Black tack! Black TS (so slimming, too!) Imagine, gray horse, black tack, black boots and TS, light gray jacket, and purple shirt.
Oh well, in my dreams. Or, when we do the jumpers.
I just ordered 2 pairs as well! I might wear a pair to the MHSA show at our barn in December. Hmmm…I think I need a new coat and shirt to go with them…
Oh no, Flash! A rebellious insurgence begins!
As for the antique photos, I, too, have an entire collection of me aboard my old bay AO horse in the traditional garb of the late 1980’s: navy coat, white pinstripe shirt, and rust breeches! But must admit, my rust breeches were usually Harry Halls. Now there’s a brand name from the past.
My Dominion Rust Tailored Sportsman’s arrived, with front zips 
so I have put them on eBay.
I decided that was cheaper than sending them back. boohoo, sob, sob.
I did see some really nice ones in the sale bin at Olson’s in Bellevue, WA but they were 80$ and size 26 I believe.
I just got my never-been-worn rust side zip TS thanx to a fellow BB’er who gave me a great deal!
Look out Virginia!!
