Cavalleria Toscana Boys' Show Shirt SS25

Size 152 is around twelve years, 164 around fourteen. If you are between two sizes, the smaller one is usually the better call for a competition shirt: it has to lie flat under the jacket and not bunch up. Treat the collar and cuffs separately before washing, because that is where dirt shows first. Do not wash white together with coloured riding clothes, and carry the shirt on a hanger in a garment bag. Since Cavalleria Toscana publishes no washing instructions for this item, follow the symbols on the care label. For a show over several days, take a second white shirt with you.

Choose this shirt for a boy who goes into the ring and needs a plain white basis that works in as many classes as possible. It fits best when you do not yet know which discipline he will ride most: white works in showjumping, in dressage and in the dressage test of an eventing competition. If you are sure it is only for training, the Cavalleria Toscana Team Boys' Competition Polo with short sleeves is more practical. If you want a shirt with a closed bib front for a tidier look, the bib models in the range are worth considering.

Tuck the shirt into the breeches and smooth it down at the back before closing the jacket. After riding, do not leave it folded in the bag but hang it up to dry. Treat stains on the collar and cuffs before they dry in. Cavalleria Toscana publishes no washing instructions for this item, so follow the symbols on the care label in the shirt, and wash white separately from coloured riding clothes.

Why is white so often the right choice?

In showjumping, the FEI rules ask for a white collar and a white tie, and for children and pony riders a fully white shirt. In Belgian dressage, a white shirt is prescribed. White therefore covers most classes.

Does this shirt have short or long sleeves?

Cavalleria Toscana does not state the sleeve length for this item, and the variants in the webshop do not mention it either. So do not base your choice on sleeve length.

What is it made of?

The manufacturer publishes no fibre composition for this item. It is on the care label in the shirt.

How large may the manufacturer's logo be?

The FEI General Regulations keep it to 3 cm2 per garment, with 16 cm2 on the collar. National federations may differ, so check the rules of your own federation.

Which size should I take?

152 for around twelve years, 164 for fourteen. In case of doubt, the smaller size usually looks tidier under a jacket.

May he ride without a jacket?

The ground jury decides that, in very warm weather. The jumping rules then ask for a shirt with sleeves; sleeveless is not an option. In Belgian dressage, the sleeves have to cover at least the shoulders and the tie stays compulsory.
