Sassy, is Crofton a town in VA? Do you have a phone number for the store??? Thank you!!
If brown hats are back, anything can happen. Too bad I finally cleared my closet of all the woeful 70’s look! Rust breeches, though, are one of the official, classic, allowed colors for informal riding. Not an abomination! I was lucky enough to score for 2 prs of bargain basement TS rust breeches about 7 years ago, and they are almost threadbare! If the COTH BB has the clout to start a fashion coup like the return of rust, there’s no telling what the future may hold!
And cordovan Dehner field boots–the best! The only thing I will draw the line at is velvet collars on hunt coats–way too truly ugly! 
jumper, could be a time zone issue. But let me know what you find out. I can always use more “natural” colors to school in. Something to hide the dust, right?
I just called – all they have are size 24 & 26 left. Hurry!!
I almost cracked up when I asked her, “I understand you have some rust-colored TS breeches on sale?”

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.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
NO!!! Don’t tell me that! I haven’t gotten mine yet but am looking forward to it…maybe this is another “too good to be true” scenario…I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
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.
Anyway they both fit fine for schooling, and just think they will match my lovely chestnut horse. won’t that be ducky? 
This is the one time I can be thankful I DON’T ride in a large barn I guess. Only the tumbleweeds and the cactus see me, and they don’t seem to care! 
Anyone who has a pair of size 26 or so rust breeches for sale let me know… trixie@erols.com
I’d love them for schooling and stuff
Brand? Side zip?
A friend of mine who works in a tack shop told me that TS has a browner version of khaki coming out, called taupe (or maybe it is already available?). Has anyone seen it? Does it look bluey or purpley at all?
Okay, so if rust breeches AREN’T coming back, why does Grand Prix keep making neat looking jackets with rust threads woven into the plaids? Are they just teasing us?
Hold on, I didn’t say I was showing at INDIO in rust. These fashion takeovers require time! I thought I’d start at a local schooling show with my 3 yr. old filly in a hack class. As for my trainer’s comments? Well, as I mentioned once before, her remarks would range from “What do you have on?” to “I won’t know you in the schooling ring.” But then, she’s the type that wears panty hose under her breeches… no thongs in her barn, by gosh!
Flash, Flash, as a retailer I cry, WAIT, these were $10.00 breeches…did you really expect them to be $185.00 breeches that you could show in? They are RUST for God sake. 
I figure for $10.00 I can body clip in them and throw them away.
Please don’t spend your return UPS or Postal money the send them back. Maybe they are the beginning of a new Halloween costume for next year. Be creative.
All meant in good fun…
Merry, I live in Calif. too! I will wear rust breeches to ANY show. Back when I was showing is was the greenish or rust TS with a green jacket and green and white striped shirt. That is all I have so when I show again, that’s what I am wearing! I hope I won’t be insulting any judges by wearing them (that was sarcastic btw, hehe). I have also heard that black jackets are out too, when did that happen?? I think I will buy one now. Rust TS with a black jacket! Hehe, I am fearless!

Trixie…I have a pair of 28s. Email me if you’re interested.
Hey, that store should be stockpiling them for the heavy demand that will ensue shortly. I also want to know: what brand? What fabric?
MmmmUuuuu ha ha ha ha…I just ordered a pair from the Crofton store. 10.00 for TS, I can hardly believe it.
Excellent point, Merry! I’ve been hoping those rust colored threads in the GP jackets were not just for matching up shirts with! 
my trainer was telling me today that she had a nightmare and she was about to walk into the show ring and gasp she only had rust breeches! she through a big fit and wouldn’t go into hte ring. Sounds like a pretty SCARY nightmare to me
WAA!!!Waaaahaahaaahaaaa…
They only ship to US!! waaaa sob sob sob sob
DON’T DO IT CHANDA! DON’T DO IT!
