Tommy Hilfiger Equestrian Columbus Competition Shirt Men

The Tommy Hilfiger Equestrian Columbus Competition Shirt is a white competition shirt for men, meant as the top layer under your show jacket at a competition. The finish is plain white, the colour asked for in most classes. Maddelin carries it in sizes XS and M.

About this competition shirt

The Columbus comes from an older collection and no longer appears in the licence holder's official product data. No fibre composition is documented by the manufacturer for this model, and none is given here. Borrowing one from a comparable model does not work: within this line the compositions run from polyester blends to polyamide blends, with widely differing elastane shares. The washing instructions, the type of collar and fastening, the fabric weight, any mesh panels, the cut and the country of manufacture are not documented by the manufacturer either.

What is established is the type: a white competition shirt for men, meant to be worn under a show jacket. In this category it is mainly about that colour and about the top edge of the shirt. In showjumping the FEI prescribes a white collar, white cuffs with long sleeves and a white tie, stock or choker; for children and pony riders the whole shirt must be white, and short sleeves are permitted there. In dressage the FEI rules only say that the stock or tie must be white or off-white; they prescribe nothing about the shirt itself. The Belgian rules are more concrete and require a white shirt, with sleeves that cover at least the shoulders when no jacket is worn.

One thing can never be said in general about a competition shirt: whether it is permitted in the ring. Competition dress rules differ by federation, by discipline, by level and by country, and they are revised regularly. So check the current rules of your own federation before you enter. In dressage there is not even an FEI rule about the shirt: the international rules only set the colour of the stock or tie there, while the Belgian rules do require a white shirt. What a shirt can do is match the concrete requirements that apply in your class, and you read those in the rules of your own federation.

In very warm weather the ground jury may allow riding without a jacket. In showjumping the shirt must then have sleeves, short or long; sleeveless is excluded. The rules name no temperature threshold: the jury judges that itself. The manufacturer does not state the sleeve length of this model, so check on the garment itself whether you have short or long sleeves before you enter without a jacket on a warm day.

Two limitations to close with. Maddelin carries this item in two sizes, XS and M, without a conversion to a men's size being given alongside them. And a plain white shirt shows sand, stable dirt and stains; without washing instructions from the manufacturer, the care label in the garment is your only reliable guide.
