Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
I ordered a third Piper t-shirt, the black one. Let me just say, these are my new favorite shirts. I already reviewed the Piper t-shirts a week or so ago, but that was before I actually gave them a solid wearing. To really test the shirt, I wore the same one to the barn for three days in a row. (Ew ... gross!) Had it been summer in Bakersfield, I couldn't have done it as the shirt would have been totally disgusting, but it was in the mid-70s, and I wasn't doing too much sweating. By the end of the third wearing, the shirt was a little dirty, but it looked almost as fresh as the first day. It kept it's shape, and somehow resisted stains and dirt marks.
I wore the pink one to work and loved how silky it felt. These shirts hang really nicely, stay tucked in, keep their shape, and launder really well. For ten bucks and some change, I am considering buying a second set just to keep as non-barn shirts. SmartPak, you hit a home-run with this product! Now, can you make it in all the Piper Breeches colors? |
