ncompassing everything from competition gear to casual wear, clothing and footwear is a huge sector of the equestrian market. All year round, there will be new things to stock in accordance with ever-changing fashion and seasonal trends. New trends appear each year, and it is important for retailers to stay ahead of the game and predict what is likely to fly off the shelves. For example, for 2011 into 2012, items that have been designed around an Olympic, British or Team GBR theme – in reds, blues and whites – are likely to be popular and will make for a nice seasonal and patriotic display. ‘Country and equestrian’ fashion meanwhile has for the past few years been hitting the mainstream, with many high street retailers offering their own brand of clothing and footwear in this style, be it polo shirt, gilet or jodhpur-type boot. Whilst this may mean more competition, it also opens up opportunities to cash in – equestrians retailers can stock much more established, traditional brands, which as well as being more ‘authentic’ should also be better performing. It is also important to take into account the various sizes and shapes that horse riders come in! With shop floor space always at a premium, it can be difficult which brands, products and sizes to choose, but combining a selection, with a bit of trial and error, is the best way of ensuring you are catering for as many people as possible. This is balanced against the importance of not over-stocking – clothing can fast go out fashion and any old, unsold stock will quickly need clearing. This issue of Trade Talk contains everything you need to plan your clothing and footwear sales, along with all of the key contacts.

Put on a display
Clothing and footwear are such staple items of stock in most equestrian stores that it makes sense to make them a focal point of the shop floor. Displays must be attractive and accessible whilst showing products off to their best effect, so here we provide some tips. When shopping for clothing, there is nothing more off-putting than piles of creased and disorganised clothing, overly packed rails, cramped spaces and illogical displays. Although space can often be at a premium, particularly in smaller stores, there is little point in having any clothing on sale if customers are too put off to start looking. If space in store really is tight, linking up with suppliers to promote an ordering service might be the best option. Good suppliers should be able to get items out to you within a matter of days, and this will also allow you to better handle any specific requests that the customer might have, even if 4

the item is not currently in stock. Additionally, stick to one or two different brands with a choice of low, medium and high price items, so that the numbers out on the rail are minimised without limiting too greatly the choices of the customer. Whatever the size of store, there are many things that retailers can do to make the most effective use of the clothing on sale. Firstly, look at the display equipment. For example, slat wall is very flexible and makes good use of space, and is ideal for footwear or accessories, whilst jackets and polo shirts should be hung on rails. Other items such as jodhpurs or shirts can also be displayed on rails, but if they come in packaging might instead look better on shelves, so long as they are neatly organised. Many manufacturers also provide point of sale equipment, including branded stands to draw attention to particular products.

inside. Dressed mannequins give customers an idea of how the products look and fit and will allow
To allow the customer to quickly find and select what they are looking for, sort and display clothing by size within each brand or type, and perhaps also by colour where relevant. Make it easy for customers to see the size of each product, using stickers or coloured blocks if necessary. If items are on a clothing rail, ensure that all the hangers are turned the same way and avoid the appearance of over-cluttering – customers should be able to easily pull out items to get a better look. Racks should be far enough apart to allow two customers to browse comfortably in the aisles without encroaching on each other’s space. To make displays more interesting, make better use of space or indeed make the sorting of products more apparent, consider separating new and clearance clothing by the type of rack or rail used. For example, use round racks for new products and straight rails for clearance clothing, or vice versa. It is also important to distinguish sale items from clearance – place sale clothing near the front of the store to attract interest, whilst end-ofline or clearance stock can be located at the back. The shop floor should always be kept neat and tidy – ensure staff members are on hand to put products away when finished, and avoid new stock sitting around (and potentially getting damaged) by storing it correctly as soon as it comes in.
them to get a feel of the thickness and quality of the clothing. Furthermore, by displaying certain items together as an outfit this might also provoke an additional sale. A customer might initially come into the shop looking for a jacket, but might leave with a matching polo shirt, pair of jodhpurs or boots. Mannequins may be full-body, a torso or just a pair of legs, but can make a huge contribution to the look of a store, providing that they are smart, well-dressed and show off the products to best effect. A tatty mannequin draped ungainly in ill-fitting or worn items is sure to discourage anyone from buying. Furthermore, as with any displays, be sure to make them relevant to the season and make frequent changes to keep them fresh and interesting and showcase what’s new.
Outfit ideas One of the best ways of displaying clothing is by using a mannequin, as part of an eye-catching window display and/or to highlight certain items www.tradetalkonline.co.uk

Shapes and sizes People come in all shapes and sizes, and horse riders are certainly no exception. All clothing stock should therefore reflect this to ensure that no customer is left uncatered. The sizes of clothing on your rails should meet as wide a demographic of customer as possible. Market research is always important when choosing products to stock; however, with clothing it is important to bear in mind that just because you haven’t got a certain size or shape of customer buying your clothes at present, it doesn’t mean they aren’t there. It might simply mean you have nothing to offer them, therefore they don’t look. Men’s sizing tends to be less varied than women’s; men are more likely to purchase items ‘off the cuff’ (although they shouldn’t be neglected); whereas women in general are much more concerned with fit, and may indeed find obtaining the right fit slightly more tricky! The average British woman today might be 5ft 5in, but there are many much taller women riders who have to put up with shirts, sleeves and jodhpurs that will forever be too short in 6

equestrian directory
length, unless there are longer-length items on offer. The average clothes size for women in the UK meanwhile has grown to around a size 16, and so failing to cater to this segment of the market is missing out on a large percentage of British riders. It makes sense therefore to look at stocking non-standard sizes alongside ‘regular’ sizes – particularly as retailers with stores are increasingly in competition with online companies who may appear to have a greater range of sizes available. Many manufacturers will have non-standard sized options available, with the plus sized market now also well catered for via specialist 16+ company Fuller Fillies. Petite riders however may be one demographic that at present is not as well served as it should be. This seems odd, as many high street retailers offer petite ranges as the norm but it seems this has yet to translate to horse rider and country clothing. Many smaller-built adult riders find themselves having to buy clothing in children’s sizes instead, which will have been designed for kids rather than with ‘grown-ups’ in mind. This might be a market for future development.

Sizing confusion
Footwear
Many people can report being one clothing size in one shop and a different size in another, and this can be true of equestrian stores as well as on the high street! This can make clothes shopping potentially a very stressful experience for some people, so ensure there is a proper range of sizes and options available and that staff have a good knowledge of these products and how they are likely to fit. To add to the confusion, certain methods of sizing seem to be specific to the equestrian world alone! Although some items, such as shirts, do usually correspond to high street sizing, others, for example jodhpurs, are sized completely differently and often have different fits and lengths that must be taken into account also. ‘Maids’ sizing for jackets and breeches in particular can be very confusing. A size chart posted in an obvious position on the wall will help show both customers and staff what a size 26” pair of jodhpurs equates to in ‘regular’ sizing. This can vary from brand to brand, so is it best to contact the manufacturers direct for sizing guidance.
Boots are one of the most important items of kit that the rider can have, and can also represent quite a significant investment on the part of the customer. Comfort is therefore even more imperative for footwear than for clothing – painful feet can just not be tolerated, whether riding or mucking out! Getting the fit right is of prime importance, and, as with clothing, each brand and style of boot will have its own distinctive fit. Many manufacturers also offer a wide leg fit option for long boots as well as the traditional standard, and wide or narrow feet, or even leg length, might also have to be taken into consideration. Footwear is generally sized in either a Continental or English fashion, and so below is a rough guide to help point customers in the right direction:

Focus on cotton Cotton fabric has been used to make clothing for thousands of years, and remains ever-popular today due to its inherently valuable qualities. Trade Talk profiles this versatile natural fibre, which is often used in both horse and human clothing alike. Fragments of clothing found in India and Pakistan indicate that cotton has been used for making human garments for at least 5,000 years, and the history of this fabric is in fact likely to date back even further. The material was introduced to Europe by Arabic traders in around 800 AD, and by Tudor times cotton was renowned worldwide. During the Industrial Revolution, new machinery meant that cotton could be produced far more quickly and on a much larger scale than ever before, and today, cotton is used more than any other fibre throughout the world. A natural fibre, the cotton plant is grown and harvested before being spun and woven into fabric, and the main countries of production today are China (around 8 and a half million tonnes produced per year), the USA and India. The cotton 8

plant is a member of the Mallow family, and in appearance is fluffy and white or cream in colour, with the fibres surrounding small cottonseed. Once harvested, these seeds must be separated from the cotton before it can be cleaned, aligned, spun and woven – spinning cotton is easy due to the natural tendency of the fibres to interlock. Cotton is also easy to dye, and easy to weave in with other fibres, such as Lycra or polyester. Cotton has remained a popular choice for clothing because it is strong and hard-wearing, yet naturally lightweight, absorbent, soft and breathable, making it a particularly good choice of fabric for warmer climes. Interestingly, cotton is the only fibre that becomes stronger when wet, and furthermore, as it is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust-mites, cotton clothing can be recommended for sufferers of asthma or allergies or those with sensitive skin. Since the start of 2010, cotton prices have risen by approximately 150% due to worldwide shortages and rising demand. Despite this, cotton is bound to remain a popular fabric for clothing for years to come, with the trend towards organic and fair trade cotton in particular continuing to grow.

Waterproof and breathable Denoting two vital functions of outdoor wear, these two terms are often found in the descriptions of rider clothing. Trade Talk examines the testing and rating processes for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Every horse rider should possess at least one waterproof jacket, and, as horses often have several rugs of different thicknesses to take into account various weather conditions, so regular riders should ideally own two or three different jackets or coats for themselves. Furthermore, it’s not just jackets – other handy waterproof items for riders include trousers and overalls, plus accessory items such as hats, gloves and socks. The effectiveness of a waterproof garment will partially be down to the design (for example, taped seams, adjustable cuffs and inward-facing zips), but will largely be due to the fabric and/or coating. The fabrics used in waterproof clothing are either inherently repellent of water or have been treated or coated with waterproofing material. To be both waterproof and breathable, the fabric must resist liquid water (for example rain or snow) from passing through the material but still allow through water vapour (evaporation from sweat). The level of waterproofing can be tested in several different ways. One popular example is the Hydrostatic Head (HH) test, also known as the water column test. This involves the fabric being held tight against a column of water one inch in diameter, and tested over 24 hours to see how many millimetres of water pressure the fabric can withstand before leaking. The 14
TRADE talk
equestrian directory
result is therefore expressed as mm of pressure – a high performance waterproof will rate from 5,000mm up to 20,000mm, whilst a good allrounder waterproof will be around the 2,000mm mark. Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) is another means of rating waterproof fabrics. This relates to the amount of water pressure – both from external weather conditions and internal pressure from the wearer – that the material can withstand. The higher the PSI, the most effective the waterproofing, and thus the greater the price of the item is likely to be. 20 PSI equates to around 10,000mm. All clothing sold as waterproof in the
www.tradetalkonline.co.uk
focus on... Clothing & Footwear UK must meet the British Standard of 3 PSI, or around 1,500mm of pressure. As a guide, rain tends to generate about 2 PSI, or 1,000mm of pressure, but the pressure exerted by the wearer should also be taken into account.
Breathability
it to simulate sweat. As water vapour passes through the plate and fabric, the evaporative heat loss cools the metal plate and more energy is needed to keep it at a constant temperature. This energy is what calculates the Ret. Higher energy means greater evaporation, which means the fabric is less resistant to moisture vapour transmission (and thus more breathable). A Ret of 0 to 6 is considered the most breathable, with anything above 30 not breathable.
Durable Water Repellency
If the water vapour from sweat is not able to escape, then it does not matter how waterproof the fabric, the wearer will still not be dry. ‘Breathability’ is usually stated in two ways – Moisture Vapour Transfer (MVT) or Resistance to Moisture Vapour Transfer (Ret). MVT is essentially the rate at which water vapour passes through the fabric, measured in grams of water/per square metre/per 24 hours (g/ m2/d). This can be tested using either the Upright Cup–A1 or Inverted Cup–B1 method, although it is important to note that the results of both tests do not correlate with each other – a high performance fabric will rate above 10,000 g/m2/d using the A1 test and above 20,000 g/m2/d using the B1 test. The higher the value, the more breathable the fabric. The Ret test is considered slightly more reliable. The fabric is placed above a porous metal plate, which is then heated, with water channelled into
Durable Water Repellency (DWR) is a chemical treatment (usually fluoropolymers or silicone) applied to the fabric to form a protective barrier against water droplets on the outer layer and aid breathability. It is usually used in conjunction with a breathable and weatherproof membrane to increase performance. DWR can be removed through cleaning and should be re-proofed when necessary. When testing DWR, first water is sprayed onto the fabric’s surface and the amount sticking to the surface is measured, from 0 (complete wetting) to 100 (no wetting). Secondly, the number of washings before the DWR is removed is measured. The highest performing DWR garments will be around 80/100 – with the first number relating to that first test, and the second number to the second test. 70/10 is the average for a lessexpensive piece of clothing, whilst 80/20 is a good higher-end standard.

Changing rooms Trying on clothing is an important part of the customer experience, and equestrian clothing is no different. If you can spare any space, it is important to squeeze in a changing room; it will quickly prove popular. Changing rooms provide the space required for customers to try on and coordinate different items. Trying on is an important part of buying equestrian clothing – sizes can vary wildly between styles and brands, which can be confusing to customers and can lead to disappointment and returns if an incorrectly fitting item is purchased. Whether you have one changing room or a whole wall of them, make sure they are clean, secure and inviting. Ideally, changing rooms should be big enough to make trying on clothes easy and comfortable and include somewhere to sit, but all changing rooms should feature at least three hooks to hang items on. This will help ensure merchandise does not get left on the floor, and
16
TRADE talk
equestrian directory
potentially be trodden on and spoiled. Ensure also that all changing rooms are watched closely by staff. Many large high street stores have a member of staff on duty in the changing rooms at all times to try to prevent theft, as well as providing customer service. It is not usually practical for equestrian retailers to employ a staff member solely for this purpose, but you should make sure that all staff are eagle-eyed in this area and watch customers closely: even the most innocent looking customer could be tempted to slip a small item into their bag when out of sight of staff. This type of theft is made all the more easy if your clothing items are not security-tagged. If you are unable to provide a changing room, make sure you clearly display your returns policy to reassure people that they can try on items at home and return them if the size is wrong. Make sure the policy spells out the conditions of return and remind customers to leave the labels on items.
Flattering figures Customers are much more likely to buy an item of clothing if it flatters them. With this is mind, try to make the changing room environment help in this respect. Lighting, mirrors and even the colours on the wall can affect the way people look, and this may influence the buying decision!
