Cavalleria Toscana Jersey S/S Bib Show Shirt Girls

Choose the size by height: 140 corresponds to roughly ten years, 152 to twelve and 164 to fourteen. Not every colour runs through every size. White comes in 140 and 164, Blue Fog in 152 and 164, navy in 140 and 152, so first check whether your combination exists. Keep the white shirt apart from coloured washing, and put it into a cover or bag straight after the test: a bib front easily picks up make-up, sun cream and dust from the surface. For the wash programme, follow the label in the shirt, as Cavalleria Toscana publishes no washing instructions for this item.

Take this shirt for a young rider who competes and wants a closed front without loose buttoning at the throat. The short sleeve comes into its own at summer shows and in classes where riding without a jacket is allowed. If she rides children's or pony classes in showjumping, or scholars' and pony dressage in Belgium, choose the white version: a fully white shirt is prescribed there. If she is after long sleeves for cool mornings or for classes with white cuffs, the Cavalleria Toscana Young Riders Long Sleeve Jersey competition shirt suits better. If it is purely for training, a competition polo from the range is more practical than a shirt with a bib.

Put the shirt on before you fasten the breeches, so the front stays flat, and check in the mirror that the bib sits straight before mounting. After riding, hang it open to dry instead of leaving it folded in the bag. Cavalleria Toscana states no washing instructions for this item, so follow the symbols on the label in the shirt, and treat marks on the white front before they set.

What is a bib on a competition shirt?

A bib is a fixed front panel in a different fabric, sitting closed at the throat and running down to below the jacket edge. It replaces the loose tie and stays in place while riding.

Can my daughter jump a pony class in this?

The FEI jumping rules prescribe a fully white shirt for children and pony riders. Choose the white version in that case and check the current rules of your own federation, as the rules differ by country and by level.

Which size do I choose?

Go by height: 140 for roughly ten years, 152 for twelve, 164 for fourteen. Cavalleria Toscana gives no size guide with body measurements for this item.

What is the shirt made of?

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

May she ride without a jacket in short sleeves?

The ground jury can decide in very warm weather that riders may compete without a jacket. The jumping rules then require a shirt with sleeves; short sleeves fall within that, sleeveless does not. In Belgian dressage the sleeves must cover at least the shoulders and the tie remains compulsory.

How do I keep the white front clean?

Wash whites separately, treat marks before they dry and carry the shirt in a cover. Otherwise follow the washing instructions on the label.

Can I get every colour in every size?

No. White comes in 140 and 164, Blue Fog in 152 and 164, navy in 140 and 152.
