Cavalleria Toscana Jersey Button Competition Polo Boys

Size 152 stands at Cavalleria Toscana for a twelve-year-old, but children grow unevenly: measure his height and compare with clothing from the brand you already own, as no size guide is available for this item. At the show, have your son put the polo on only just before tacking up, and keep it away from hoof grease and grooming products. Wash according to the label in the garment, as the manufacturer states no washing instructions online. On a white garment, pre-treating collar and cuffs does more than a higher wash temperature.

Choose this polo when a collar is enough: it suits the youth classes of showjumping where the shirt has to be fully white, dressage under a jacket, and a training day in competition dress. For a class with a requirement about cuffs it is no answer, if only because the sleeve length is not documented. If you want a flat front with a bib instead of a polo collar, the Cavalleria Toscana Young Rider jersey competition shirt with bib is the alternative within our offering, though that is a different youth model with its own sizing. If your son wears size 152, this is the only version, as there is no second size.

The model name points to a button fastening, but the manufacturer does not confirm it. If there are buttons, close them before the polo goes into the machine: an open fastening stretches out and catches on other washing. A wash bag helps with that. For the rest, on this white model: do not store it with the grooming kit and hang it out straight after the ride. Which temperature and which programme are allowed, you read on the label alone.

What fibres is this polo made of?

Cavalleria Toscana states no fibre composition for this item. The label in the polo does give it.

Does the polo have short or long sleeves?

The sleeve length is not documented by the manufacturer. Check it before using it in a class with a requirement about sleeves or cuffs.

Can my son jump a pony class in this?

FEI Jumping Rules article 207.2.3.3 requires a fully white shirt for children and pony riders. A white polo meets that colour requirement. Check the remaining requirements of your federation for his level.

And in dressage?

The FEI rules require only a white or off-white stock or tie. The Belgian rules require a white shirt for scholars and ponies, and without a jacket sleeves covering at least the shoulders.

May he ride without a jacket when it is hot?

The ground jury decides that, and the rules speak only of very warm weather without naming a limit in degrees. If the jacket comes off, the shirt must have sleeves in showjumping; sleeveless is ruled out.

Which age matches size 152?

Cavalleria Toscana gives size 152 as twelve years. If in doubt, measure his height.

How do I keep the polo white?

Follow the label in the garment. Pre-treat collar and cuffs and do not leave it folded in the competition bag.
