Samshield Frac Crystal Fabric Permanent Collection

Try this tailcoat on with the competition shirt you actually wear underneath and check in riding position how the back falls: this model has crystal details on the back, so you want the rear panel to sit nicely while you are in the saddle. Combine it with white breeches and a competition shirt from our range for a coordinated dressage outfit.

Machine wash the tailcoat at a low temperature and turn it inside out first, so the crystal accents do not rub against the drum. Then hang it on a broad hanger.

This version is aimed at riders in a small size, XXS or S, who ride in navy and want a tailcoat with a crystal detail on the back. It is intended for official dressage competitions and championships.

If you want a tailcoat with long-running tails, look at the Long Frac models in our Samshield range. If you jump or event, an ordinary show jacket is a more logical choice. And if you need a different size or colour, do ask us.

The tailcoat fastens at the front with buttons and is meant for official dressage competitions and championships. Combine it with white breeches and a show shirt. Check the rules of your federation to see whether a tailcoat is required or allowed in your class.

Machine wash the tailcoat at a low temperature, turned inside out, so the crystal accents do not rub against the drum. Afterwards, hang it on a wide hanger.

How does this show jacket fit?
This is a tailored ladies' model that follows the natural body line, on the stated EU and IT size. If you are torn between XXS and S, get in touch with us.

Can I wear this jacket over a body protector or airbag vest?
The product information does not specify that. Contact us if you want to take it into account when choosing your size.

Does this jacket come in other sizes or colours?
What we offer as standard is listed under the technical specifications: navy in XXS and S. Other sizes or colours can be ordered in on request.

How does this model differ from the Long Frac?
The Long Frac models have long-running tails. This model from the permanent collection is the classic tailcoat version, with crystal accents on the collar, cuffs and back.

Where exactly are the crystal details?
On the collar, the cuffs and the back of the tailcoat.

How do I wash this tailcoat?
By machine at a low temperature, preferably turned inside out to spare the crystal accents.

Is this tailcoat suitable for warm days?
The fabric is breathable and quick-drying and weighs little, which helps on warm competition days. A show day in full sun stays warm in any tailcoat, of course.

Can I wear this tailcoat in my test?
Whether a tailcoat is expected or permitted in your class depends on your discipline, your federation and the applicable rules. Check that before you enter.
