“Cuz every girl’s crazy ‘bout a
sharp dressed man.” Young or old, who doesn’t love
that ZZ Top song circa 1983, and let’s face it the lyrics are soooo true. People talk about loving a man in uniform,
and the horse industry is no different. Nothing
sexier than a crisply pressed pair of jeans and a great shirt on a hot cowboy! Oh, and don’t you love the smell of starch
ladies?
My All That Show Clothing “fashionista in crime,” Tammy
Benes got that memo and went to work on designing her own personal line of men’s
show shirts. When Tammy puts her mind to
something, there’s no stopping that freight train, and some of the hottest guys
in the biz have quickly jumped on board.
I have to think that Tammy’s
daddy, Mr. Schuster, was her inspiration for this effort. Always impeccably dressed and looking cool
and stylish at the shows, he was the first person who came to mind when the All
That shirts started arriving at the big summer shows. Another person who came to mind was
“2009 Congress Hottie”, Brian Cox. Always a
trend setter, Tammy agreed that Brian would make a great muse. After previewing the All That collection at
the Reichert, Brian was “in” and will be one of the first to debut the line at
Congress with his specially monogrammed shirt.
And like anything in the horse
world, word about these hot shirts traveled fast. At the end of the day, our
guys want to be unique too and Tammy understood that men want to customize
their own personal style. With over 300
swatches to suit every taste level, and multiple tailoring options, there will
be no “cookie cutter” looks from All That.
If you don’t have time to wait on that custom or semi-custom look, never
fear. Tammy stocks a variety of looks
that she has personally selected in her signature line.
Aside from looking great, the
initial comments from industry notables like AQHA Judge and Trainer, Dean
Bogart are that they are the most comfortable shirts he has even worn. Featuring impeccable tailoring and fine
fabrics, looking good and feeling good now go hand in hand. Dean loves the shirts so much, that he is
even judging in them now! The best news
is that the color assortments are endless which permit the option of designing
with personal barn color combinations.
Made in the USA (hooray) each
shirt is hand crafted by a master tailor for the finest fit. With only a three week lead time on custom,
it’s not too late to place your Congress orders! You can also shop at the Congress as well. Be sure to find Tammy and the All That booth conveniently located in Congress Hall.
Different shapes and sizes are
what make our special guys unique, and off the rack is not always an
option. At an imposing six feet, five inches tall, All That
devotee Taft Dickerson of North Carolina is a HUGE fan (no pun intended) along with super hottie Steve Reams. Though the line is barely out, inventory is flying
off the shelves. Do I smell a 2010 Congress
Must Have brewing here? Stay tuned
‘cause that’s for me to know, and you to find out; or should I say “All That’s”
for me to know and you to find out – LOL!
P.S. Ladies I have not abandoned
you. Tammy’s custom silk scarf and shirt
line is outrageous and apparently very lucky too. Just ask Youth World Show beauties Carey
Nowacek (pictured here, right), and Lindsey McMullen (left) who scored high honors in their “All That”
apparel. Foregoing sequins and bling for
classic and cool, these ladies are “All That.”
Shouldn’t you be too?
