Samshield Smith Match Shirt Men FW25

Take the white version if you ride in classes where a white shirt is required, and a dark shade if the shirt is mainly for warming up and schooling or for jumping classes in which only the collar and tie have to be white. Wash the shirt separately and use a colour-catcher sheet, so that the contrast section does not bleed onto the lighter part. Do up all fastenings, turn the shirt inside out and wash at 30 to 40 degrees, without fabric softener and without bleach. Do not leave the shirt in the machine after the programme and do not use the tumble dryer. Samshield publishes no instruction per model, so follow the care label in the shirt.

Choose this shirt if size XS, S or M is your size and you want a men's shirt with a contrast detail. If you ride in a class where the whole shirt must be white, the white version in size M is the only option here. If you need a larger size, or want a model whose fabric and fastening Samshield documents in full, the Samshield Smith long sleeve competition shirt is the alternative within our range. That model has a wider size range with us and Samshield keeps it in its current collection.

Wear the shirt under a show jacket with a white tie, stock or choker when the class requires it, or on its own for warming up and schooling. Wash it separately from the rest of your laundry, with a colour-catcher sheet, all fastenings done up and inside out. Across the brand Samshield states 30 to 40 degrees in the machine, without fabric softener and without bleach, and advises against the tumble dryer; for the rest, follow the care label in the shirt. If needed, iron inside out at a low temperature.

Where is the contrast on this shirt?

Samshield listed the model as the Smith Contrast Top, but no longer documents where the contrast section sits exactly. The photographs with the item show what it looks like.

What is this shirt made of?

Samshield publishes no fibre composition for this version. The product page has been taken off samshield.com. The composition is on the care label in the shirt.

Does this shirt have long or short sleeves?

Samshield does not state the sleeve length for this version. Look at the photographs with the item or compare in the shop.

Can I wear a black or navy shirt at a competition?

In international showjumping the body of the shirt is free in the ordinary categories; FEI Jumping Rules article 207.2.3 does require a white collar, white cuffs with long sleeves, and a white tie, stock or choker. For children and pony riders the whole shirt must be white, and the Belgian dressage rulebook requires a white shirt. Check your own federation's rulebook.

Which sizes are there?

Black, navy and pearl grey in XS (Men's 44), S (Men's 46) and M (Men's 48); white only in M (Men's 48). Samshield publishes no size guide in centimetres.

Does this shirt offer sun protection?

Samshield states no UPF rating for this version.

How do I wash a shirt with contrast sections?

Separately, with a colour-catcher sheet, all fastenings done up and inside out, at 30 to 40 degrees without fabric softener. Do not leave it in the machine afterwards and do not use the tumble dryer. That is what Samshield states across the brand.
