Freejump Marvick Men's Shirt

Wear this shirt first and foremost at a show under your jacket, and while warming up. Because the construction is seamless, it is also a logical choice under a body protector or airbag vest, where stitched seams become a nuisance soonest. Pair it with a white tie, stock or choker when your rulebook calls for one. For care, Freejump prescribes a machine wash at 30 °C at most, no tumble dryer, and says ironing is not needed. Wash the shirt inside out and without fabric softener if you can, and let it air-dry rather than folding it straight away.

Choose the Marvick if you want a white men's shirt that sits close to the body without stitched seams and that you wear under a jacket or a protective vest. Its women's counterpart in the same line is the Freejump Melody women's shirt, with laser-cut perforations on the collar, placket and sleeves. If you want a shirt whose full fibre composition is documented, look instead at the Trolle Aero men's competition shirt or an Equestro model. If you need long sleeves with a white cuff under your jacket, the Boss Equestrian Elton long-sleeve men's competition shirt is the better choice.

Close the press studs at the front and wear the shirt next to the skin or under your jacket, body protector or airbag vest. For care, Freejump gives clear instructions: machine wash at 30 °C at most, not in the tumble dryer, ironing not needed. Wash the shirt inside out and without fabric softener if you can, and let it dry flat or on a hanger rather than folding it while damp.

What is this shirt made of?

Freejump names a double-layer Italian fabric with a hard-wearing polyamide base and elastane carrying Xtra Life LYCRA technology, but gives no percentages by weight. The exact ratio is therefore not known.

What does that seamless construction mean?

The panels are thermo-bonded instead of stitched. That leaves no stitched seams running over the shoulders and sides, which is most noticeable under a show jacket, a body protector or an airbag vest.

How should I wash this shirt?

Freejump prescribes a machine wash at 30 °C at most, not in the tumble dryer, and says ironing is not needed. Wash the shirt inside out and without fabric softener if you can.

Does this shirt have short or long sleeves?

Freejump does not state the sleeve length on its product page. Check it on the shirt itself.

How does the shirt fasten at the front?

With press studs. Freejump describes them as practical, because they close faster than a row of buttons.

Which sizes are available at Maddelin?

XS (men's 44), S (men's 46) and M (men's 48) appear in the size selector, with the French men's size in brackets. Size M is currently out of stock.

May I wear this shirt when riding without a jacket is allowed?

In very warm weather the ground jury may allow it. In showjumping the shirt must then have sleeves; sleeveless is ruled out. The white collar and the white tie, stock or choker still apply. Because Freejump does not state the sleeve length, it is best to check that on the shirt itself.
