Cavalleria Toscana Hunter L/S Show Shirt

We stock this item only in size M, given as EU38 and IT42. That Italian sizing generally runs narrower than Belgian sizing; if you are between two sizes, that is something to take into account. Do not roll the sleeves up under the jacket, as the fold stays visible when you take the jacket off. Iron the cuffs and the collar separately and take the shirt to the show on a hanger in a cover. Treat marks in the collar before they set and wash whites apart from coloured washing. For the programme, follow the label, as the manufacturer states no washing instructions for this item.

Choose this shirt when you are after a classic, formal line and ride in classes where long sleeves are customary, or where white cuffs are required. It is also the more logical choice for spring and autumn shows, and for riders who would rather keep their arms covered. If you ride mainly in summer or in classes where the jacket comes off quickly, a short-sleeve shirt is more pleasant, for example the Cavalleria Toscana short-sleeve competition shirt with polka dot pattern. Bear in mind that we carry this model only in white and in size M; in classes with a white requirement that is exactly the right colour, but the size range is limited.

Iron the collar and cuffs before you leave for the show and carry the shirt on a hanger in a cover, so the long sleeves do not crease. Tuck it into your breeches and fasten the cuffs before you put the jacket on. Treat sweat and make-up marks in the collar before they set and wash whites separately. Cavalleria Toscana states no washing instructions for this item, so follow the symbols on the label in the shirt.

Why do white cuffs matter?

The FEI jumping rules require white cuffs with long sleeves, alongside a white collar and a white tie. With a fully white shirt that requirement does not arise.

Is this a dressage shirt or a jumping shirt?

It works for both. In dressage the FEI rules contain no shirt rule, only a white or off-white stock or tie. The Belgian rules require a white shirt there. In showjumping, collar, cuffs and tie apply.

Which size is available?

Only M, given as EU38 and IT42. Italian sizing generally runs narrower.

What is the shirt made of?

Cavalleria Toscana states no fibre composition for this item. It is on the label in the shirt.

Is a long sleeve not too warm in summer?

On a hot day it is. A short-sleeve shirt is then more pleasant, and that too falls within the rule when the ground jury allows riding without a jacket.

Does this shirt have a bib?

The manufacturer does not document that for this item. A pleated bib has been mentioned in the past, but that cannot be verified.
