Essex Classics 40th Anniversary

40 Years of Impeccable Tailoring and Style in the Saddle

It all started 40 years ago when our founder, Cathy Sacher, saw a rider drop her choker in a mud puddle. 😱 That moment sparked a revolution in show shirt design.

Today, Essex is still the choice of equestrian athletes at all levels—known for impeccable tailoring, iconic trims, and performance fabrics that do the work in and out of the ring.

✨ Classic style. Modern innovation. Always Essex.
