The shirt on the lady on the cover of the April QH Journal - the white, blue & purple shirt.

Does anyone know where to get it?

I’ll admit western riders have some pretty fun clothes.

Can you post a picture? AQHA never sent me mine…

It won’t let me grab a linky to share the photo but if it’s the one I found when I googled images QH Journal Covers…I hate you …because now I’m on a mission. :lol: checked Rods…checked Hobby Horse…can’t find.

ETA: see if this linky works http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://aqha.com/~/media/39BC57CE071F45E9950B32076C9A2437.ashx%3Fw%3D300&imgrefurl=http://americashorsedaily.com/subscribe-to-the-american-quarter-horse-journal/&usg=__pM26aPDSDhqjTrjdlI24hXpk4jY=&h=382&w=300&sz=66&hl=en&start=1&zoom=1&tbnid=yZPYT1ljhTfMiM:&tbnh=148&tbnw=116&ei=xAukT8nXDvTH6AHv4vDSCA&prev=/search%3Fq%3DQuarter%2BHorse%2BJournal%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26imgrefurl%3Dhttp://americashorsedaily.com/subscribe-to-the-american-quarter-horse-journal/%26imgurl%3Dhttp://aqha.com/~/media/39BC57CE071F45E9950B32076C9A2437.ashx%253Fw%253D300%26w%3D300%26h%3D382%26sig%3D105769575896957278883%26ndsp%3D23%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D709%26tbs%3Dsimg:CAQSEgnJk9hPWWOFNyGuY_1xNjIvWrw%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=295&sig=105769575896957278883&page=1&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:56&tx=58&ty=92

I agree that it’s a lovely shirt–I’m a big fan of eggplant purple, very elegant color that isn’t used as much as it could be. But I doubt you’d be able to find that exact shirt, at least not without spending major moolah.

At the bigger AQHA shows, show shirts are often either custom-made or from small “boutiques” that make a limited number of each shirt. It’s like the high school prom: the height of embarassment is to show up with the same outfit as someone else:eek:. I remember some years ago there was an interview with one of the bigger custom show clothing operations, and the article said they quietly kept track of who was ordering what for the big classes at congress or the world show, and discreetly suggested to other customers that they might want to reconsider purchases that would overlap.

Thanks for putting up the link, EI! I was at work so had to be quick and couldn’t scout around for the photo at that time.

I e-mailed the AQHA on it the other day - no response yet.

Isn’t it funny how in h/j, it’s the height of embarrassment to not show up in the same outfit as everyone else !

It’s a custom - if you look on ebay, lots of seamstresses have their designs listed.

Thanks Woodland !
