Trivia
- This outfit exists in two versions. Pleasant Company released the first version in 1993. It was made of a thicker wool, with gold studs for the buttons and no interfacing. Mattel retired the first Riding Outfit during Felicity's reduction and later reissued it for Felicity's movie in 2005. The new version is made of thinner, lighter acrylic felt and has round buttons instead of studs, but is otherwise identical in cut and design.
- The outfit is mentioned and seen in the book Changes for Felicity as a gift from Grandfather, but unlike other character's secondary outfits is never worn by Felicity.
