I've only heard of two companies that make racing colours. I've tried to use both Mitty's and Gannon's websites, and both are not working and no-one from either place has replied to several e-mails I've sent to there "contact us" buttons address.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a colours provider that has a website that works please

In fact it was an e-mail sent to me by Gannons that reminded me to order them!!!! So they got first shot again this arvo. still couldn't work my way past the phone number entry area..Mobile numbers don't appear to be acceptable?!?!?!?!
So after giving both of them one last chance to work this arvo i put up the post out of sheer frustration..
Hylands worked on line first time....More expensive, but what price do you put on service!!!!
Hylands give you a free (good quality) stachel if u order a cap & silks. You can also pick from their colour chart which has about 200 different colours. if you don't want the stock standard colours/shades. They will post you a chart or its available for viewing in Saddlery Wholesalers who are a local supplier for Hylands.
I didn't find them any more expensive overall than Gannons & Mittys and very good service
I am finding the information and service out of Hyland to be unbelievably sensational. In this day and age where service has seemingly dissapeared it is so good to have a free flowing exchange of updates. I'm sure it saves them a heaps of time in relation to dopes like me ringing up to keep on asking .."are they ready yet?"
I'd hope other suppliers are as service orientated as Hylands are, but they get a big thumbs up from me at this stage. :-bd
Now to hope that the silks are as good as the service...Not that i will be able to tell the difference??? And i certainly wont be able to try them on!!!
Would love to tell, but until i have a horse that finishes in the first half of the field i'll keep that my little secret.. Too many people would see it as gross self promotion and that isn't my intent..When i want to grossly promote myself/colours, everyone will know about it...haha

Colours have arrived in their special little embroided bag and look sensational.
Not a yellow streak or a pumping red cheek colour in site..
Thanks to @magoo83 and @The Funkster for your recommendations.
Now all i need to find is a horse with his legs on the right way and of average ability!!!!
For those that know me, i dont think there is enough silk worms in the world to complete that project.
