Samshield Mathisse Competition Jacket Men ss25

Choose your colour to suit the rest of your outfit. Anthracite and Cosmic Blue look good with white competition breeches and a white shirt, while black stays the most neutral base when your jacket has to work with different horses and yard colours. Wear a fine, close-fitting competition shirt from our range underneath; a thick base layer disturbs the shoulder line of a men's jacket.

The jacket is machine washable, but do not wash it more often than you need to. Brush off dust and hair, hang the jacket open after your test, and for the wash itself follow the care label inside the jacket for the right programme and temperature.

This version suits men looking for a show jacket to use right through the season, and certainly anyone who often competes outdoors. The UPF 50+ material and the breathable fabric make it usable on warm show days, while the crease-resistant finish helps when you are on the road a lot. The wide size range makes it interesting if you normally struggle to find a show jacket that fits.

If you want an outspoken colour rather than grey, black or blue, look at the other version of the Mathisse or the remaining men's jackets in our range. If you always wear an airbag vest or body protector under your jacket, it is better to look at the models made expressly for that.

The zipped pocket flaps keep the pockets neatly closed. The light, breathable stretch material with UPF 50+ makes the jacket suitable for long outdoor competitions, and thanks to the crease-resistant finish, hanging it up is usually enough, even after transport in a garment bag.

The jacket is machine washable, but do not wash it more often than needed and follow the care label for programme and temperature. Brush off dust and hairs and hang the jacket up open after your round or test.

How does this show jacket fit?
Nothing specific is stated about the fit of this version. The sizes follow the stated men's size: S corresponds to men 46, M to men 48, XL to men 52, and so on. If you are not sure which size you need, send us your measurements for advice.

Can I wear this jacket over a body protector or airbag vest?
Nothing is specified about that for this model. If you always wear a body protector or airbag vest, talk to us before you choose a size.

Are there other sizes or colours of this men's jacket?
The colours and sizes we carry as standard are listed under the technical specifications. Anything not listed there we can order in on request. Size L, for instance, is currently not held in stock as standard in this version.

What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF is a measure of how much ultraviolet light a weave lets through. 50+ is the highest category shown on clothing and therefore says something about the fabric, not about the fit or the way it is worn.

Which of the three colours should I choose?
Black is the most neutral, Anthracite reads slightly softer than black and Cosmic Blue is a deep blue. All three stay understated enough for a classic competition picture.

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable. Follow the care label inside the jacket for the right programme and temperature.

Do I need to iron this jacket before a competition?
The finish is crease-resistant, so hanging it out is usually enough, even after transport in a garment bag.

Is this show jacket within the rules?
That depends on the rules of your discipline and your federation, which can also change from year to year. Read the rules before you enter.
