Boss Equestrian Competition Shirt Women Emma Core

A shaped model with shaping seams only sits well if the size is right: too roomy and the seams run beside your figure, too tight and they gape. So put the blouse on with the underwear you wear at a competition, and look at the back in the mirror as well. The fit model in the brand photo wears size S at 176 cm tall and 76 cm chest measurement; that is something to hold on to, because an actual size guide is missing. A stock tie joins neatly onto the double collar. For the rest, keep the blouse away from your stable work: white and 25% elastane take neither a hot programme, nor chlorine, nor the drum.

Choose the Emma as a rider who wants a plain white shirt at a competition that really does follow the body, and who prefers a double collar to a stand-up band with a zip. It suits dressage, showjumping and eventing, and is usable as soon as white is asked for. If you would rather have a zip that lets you decide how high the white comes up, the Boss Equestrian Minou Show Shirt Double B is the closer match. If you want something with more character than plain white, the Elaria Show Blouse with its checked smoking panel is an option. For men, the Norman Show Shirt is the counterpart within the same line.

Fold the double collar over neatly before you close your jacket, and check in the mirror that the vertical shaping seams run straight down. Boss Equestrian prescribes: delicate wash at 30 degrees, without bleach, without an iron, without dry cleaning and without a tumble dryer. With 25% elastane in the fabric that is not excessive caution. Hang the blouse up wet on a hanger and you will not need the iron. The label in the garment remains decisive.

What is the Emma Show Shirt for?

Boss Equestrian brings the model to market as a competition shirt for women: a plain white shirt with a double collar, to wear under your show jacket.

What material is the shirt made of?

Boss Equestrian states 75% polyamide and 25% elastane. The brand also speaks of a combination with a cotton blend, but does not say which component that is or which composition belongs to it.

What are vertical shaping seams?

Vertical seams in the front and back panels that take width out of the waist. The shirt therefore follows the shape of the body instead of hanging straight down.

Does this shirt have long or short sleeves?

Boss Equestrian does not state the sleeve length for this model. That does matter when riding without a jacket is allowed in very warm weather: in showjumping the shirt must then have sleeves.

Is this shirt permitted at a competition?

That depends on your federation, your discipline and your level. In showjumping the FEI prescribes a white collar and a white tie, stock or choker, and for children and pony riders a fully white shirt. In Belgian dressage a white shirt applies. Check the current rules of your own federation.

May the shirt go in the tumble dryer?

No. Boss Equestrian rules out the tumble dryer, as well as bleaching, ironing and dry cleaning.

How does the size run?

The model is slim-cut and runs with us from XS to XL. Boss Equestrian supplies no size guide with body measurements, but the fit model in the brand photo wears size S at 176 cm and 76 cm chest measurement. With 25% elastane the fabric has plenty of stretch.
