Forever In Blue Jeans

by guest blogger Deanna Beckley

Aww blue jeans. Dark wash, acid wash, worn out, boot-cut, straight leg, fancy pockets, relax fit…so many styles to choose from! You can never have enough blue jeans!

\"\"

I will admit, I have enough jeans to get me through several weeks without wearing a single pair twice. I firmly believe they are a must have staple that should be in everyone\’s closet.

\"\"

We couldn\’t have a fashion steal without giving away a pair of jeans. This week\’s giveaway item is sponsored by Cavalier. Thank you Cavalier for giving away a great pair of Iron Horse Jeans.

\"\"

Cavalier is a privately owned Canadian company based in Stratford, Ontario. The business was founded in 1975. Cavalier has three operating divisions each focusing on a distinct segment of the equestrian market. The Cavalier division focuses on English riding equipment and apparel. Select Distributing focuses on the needs of the western rider and the Equine Advantage division represents the most comprehensive selection of Equine animal health care products. Be sure to check out their facebook page.

I actually interviewed Christi Simoneaux of Iron Horse Jeans last year. Here is what she said about Iron Horse Jeans and western fashion.

WHR: What influences Iron Horse design?

IHJ: “We really don’t look within the jean industry per say for design but we center ourselves on vintage heritage and then we explore fashion products in other categories’ such as women’s accessories to find design inspiration.”

WHR: What is the biggest jump we\’ll see western fashion take in the next two years? Or what has been the biggest jump it has taken?

IHJ: “For years now western retailers and some manufactures feel as though western fashion is two years behind main street and slower to react to current trends. I think thats changed and western is following much closer to main stream, especially the younger crowd. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more straight leg fashion and possibly a softening of the bling on jeans in the next few years to come.”

WHR: What trends are we seeing for 2012?

IHJ: “In denim, lighter washes are starting to gain a little presence while deep dark washes with bright contrasting stitching is coming on fast. Low rise for gals has settled in at 7” and is the norm in the market with 8” rise following close behind. For guys its dark washes simple pockets minimum distressing and in a low rise offering.”

WHR: Is there one item that is timeless that will never go out of style?

IHJ: “Absolutely it’s called denim and boot leg cut, its been here from the start and for the most part has stayed the same just maybe with a little bit more flare!”

So the question for this week’s giveaway is…
What equine event are you most looking forward to this summer?

    Tough one – of course all the horse shows, but my favourite is all the spectacular summer mountain trail riding.. not sure if that really qualifies as an “event”, but either way a new pair of beautiful jeans will look good in both venues!

    I would have to say “ANY”….mainly because I have just got involved in the horse world and have yet to be lucky enough to be involved in any horse events!!! So a pair of actual COWGIRL JEANS would be a great way to START!!

    I’m looking forward to the Amazing Backcountry Race in support of STARS Air Ambulance. The race has just begun, I’m participating and have already found one cache. It was a great day out with friends. I’ll be seeing a lot more of the backcountry because of this event and with STARS as the beneficiary of our travels, how can we go wrong? http://www.abcrace.com

    I just love every day in the summer with my horses… whether it is riding at home or going to a show… I am so lucky to be able to be around and ride horses!

    I am a barrel racer and look forward to all the rodeos we go to and have already been, but as a spectator, I really look forward to the Spruce Meadows Masters!
