Womanly-sized riders, unite!

LOL, maybe the clothing cos should give you a commission too!

Oooh, I think you’re on to something!

Ha! I called and order two pairs of the Irideon breeches. The customer service lady said, “Oh, you get a free shirt with each pair of breeches. What size do you want?” I asked what sizes she had. She said, “Oh, we only have size small and size medium left.” Lady, I just ordered size 1X breeches – what am I going to do with a size small t-shirt?? I know it’s not your fault, but…

A few of the women in my barn are pretty small, and there’s one thin younger teenager, so I got a size small and a size medium, figuring they’d fit someone. They medium fits the very thin teenager, and the small, well, it probably wouldn’t even fit the cat…

x – What size range (in normal life sizes) do you think the XXL vest would fit? Do you normally wear an XXL? Thanks for the link!

:lol::lol::lol:

Same thing happened to me - ordered two pairs of 2x Irideon breeches and received two medium sized shirts. The shirts fit my 8 year old nephew! Why bother giving away shirts that fit toddlers? Try giving away a brush or hoofpick…

The shirt didn’t fit my cat…I tried…:lol::lol: He was not very amused.

P.S. Just ordered another fabulous pair of 3x chaps from Arete. I LOVE that company and Barbara is always so nice and professional. Hope she will carry tall boots one day. :yes: hint…hint…

This made me laugh too–but it’s really not very funny. It’s really sad. The manufacturers need to get this kind of feedback.

Like when I ordered Kerrits and found out they’d changed the style, which makes the sizing smaller but “looks more flattering.”

Who feels flattered when pants are too small?

hey y’all look at this!!

no none of this is mine, but she has some really good breeches in 38 and 40!!! also a plus sized Romfh dressage top!!
I just thought I would give everyone a fair chance. I sold my 19 inch calf boots on ebay, so there are plenty of us who troll ebay looking for good bargains. I couldn’t let these go by.

Damn you, everyequine!!! avert the eyes…avert the eyes…

yeah, but if yoooooou buy it, I won’t have to…(muhwaahhaha)!!!
then you’ll realllllly hate me for this one!!!

I normally wear about an XL, or a 16-18 top. It is the curse of being born of German ancestry - I don’t think it is in our genetic makeup to be small chested. :sigh: Hope this helps. :slight_smile:

Twink, how long did you avert your eyes? did you end up with any of the ebay listed breeches? they looked nice! I didn’t buy any. :no:

I successfully avoided all of them! HA!! :smiley:

too much time, not enough money

I love and hate Ebay at the same time. I spend way too much time there (and here) but I keep finding great stuff that FITS ME on ebay!! I just bought a pair of jeans from a lady- didn’t need anything else, but she has riding clothes too. I have invited her here, she has breeches and Ariat stuff. in OUR sizes. I hope she enjoys her visit with us. :lol:
