Tee shirts are a wardrobe staple for most equestrians. A good tee shirt is comfortable, wash n' wear, and looks as good with jeans off the horse as it does with breeches on the horse. Yet when we went looking for equestrian label tees to stock, we were a tad disappointed by what was available . It seemed to us that unless you wanted to go around with a giant unicorn on your chest (fine if you are 5 years old) or pay $70 for a tee shirt, there was nothing specifically for equestrians out there. It became apparent that most riders were wearing athletic or surf brand tee shirts. We thought to ourselves: this will never do!!! We are equestrians! We have our own unique culture and style! We deserve our own tee shirts that reflect this, dammit!
We searched the globe for uniquely equestrian tee shirts and discovered the Hunt Club brand from the US. We were lucky enough to have them agree to supply us with their tees and other apparel, which we fell in love with. Hunt Club's tees are excellent quality and uniquely equestrian. It wasn't long before they started to acquire fans. However, some of us horsey types are a little rough on our tee shirts and can't justify paying for their airfare over from the States. So another alternative was required... we decided we would just have to do our own range of Australian equestrian tee shirts!
We set off on a mission and found some exceptional quality, well fitting, lightweight (150gsm) combed cotton tees. Importantly for us, these tees are made in an offshore factory that is audited and assures that its working conditions are safe, fair, legal and humane. No sweatshops on our watch, thank you! Then we tracked down a designer in Melbourne who could capture our out-of-the-box ideas and a local printer who could digitally print them to a quality that would last a gazillion washes! Bingo! The Arch & Alex tee shirt collection was born!
Not everyone likes the same thing, and it's just plain boring to wear the same style all the time, so we try to keep our designs unique and varied. We have sophisticated designs, heartwarming designs, humorous designs and even some more artsy fashion type designs. But they are all proudly equestrian. If you go to our TEE COLLECTION, we are sure you'll find something you like. And if you don't, keep checking back. More designs are in the pipeline...
