Standing 6'5", Taft Dickerson is a huge fan of All That! With over 300 swatches to suit every taste level, and multiple tailoring options, there will be no cookie cutter looks.

“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?
