I make stocks, vests, ties etc for show riders (horses). Check out the web site if you're interested. www.magicbrowbands.com.au

What about show shirts? The ones they have now aren't pretty, or at least the last few I've seen, with one side one color and the other a totally different one.
The older Western shirts were popular many years ago, and even then they went for surprising sums. I remember one I looked at but couldn't afford, it was a regular, personally fitted to a female form, blue chambray, with separate and massively curled edges for shoulder/back and front top of breast, wrist and shirt fronts highly embroidered flowers and vines.
With today's machines it would not have to cost many hours of hand work. I still wish that I'd saved up for one of those..and it's been about 50 years since I saw it.
This of course would be an online or very high end boutique sale item.
