Samshield Short Frac Crystal Fabric Rose Gold

Only sizes XXS and XS are available in this version. Because the cut is tailored and the model sits short, it is best to try the jacket on with the competition shirt you actually wear; if you are hesitating between two sizes, contact us before ordering.

The product information gives no washing instruction, so follow the care label in the jacket. A fabric with crystals needs careful handling: no rubbing, no aggressive stain remover and no tumble dryer. After the show, hang the jacket out on a wide hanger. Combine it with a competition shirt and gloves from our range in a quiet colour, so the shimmer of the fabric remains the only accent.

This jacket suits riders in dressage or show jumping who want a refined short model with a detail that only stands out in movement. The choice between black, navy and anthracite lets you tune the jacket to the rest of your equipment.

If you want a completely plain jacket without shimmer, you are better off choosing a model without crystals from our range, certainly when the rules of your discipline leave little room for decoration. And if you are looking for a jacket cut to be worn over an airbag vest or body protector, that is a different model within our range.

You wear this short frac in dressage or show jumping, on intensive competition days. The stretch fabric gives when you come forward over a fence and then returns to shape. Combine it with a show shirt and gloves in a calm colour, so the sparkle of the fabric stays the only accent.

No washing instruction is given, so follow the care label in the jacket. Handle the crystal fabric with care: do not rub, use no harsh stain remover and do not tumble dry. After the show, hang the jacket on a wide hanger.

How does this show jacket fit?
The cut is tailored and follows the body; the model sits short. The jacket follows the stated EU and IT size. Only XXS and XS are available in this version; if you are unsure, get in touch.

Can I wear this jacket over a body protector or airbag vest?
The product information does not specify this. The jacket is not described as a model to wear over a vest; if in doubt, get in touch.

Does this jacket come in other sizes or colours?
What we stock as standard is listed under the technical specifications. Other sizes or colours can be ordered on request.

What is Crystal Fabric?
A fabric with Swarovski crystals worked into it. They catch the light as you move and give a discreet shimmer rather than a conspicuous appliqué.

What is the difference between a short frac and a regular show jacket?
A tailcoat has longer tails at the back. This is a short model: it keeps the refined line but wears more easily in the ring.

Is this jacket suitable for warm days?
The fabric is breathable, light and quick-drying, which helps on intensive competition days, both indoors and outdoors.

How do I care for a jacket with crystals?
Follow the care label in the jacket. Do not rub over the crystals, do not use aggressive products and do not put the jacket in the tumble dryer.

Am I allowed to compete in this jacket?
Rules on the colour, cut and decoration of competition clothing differ per discipline, per federation and per year. Check the rules of your own discipline and federation, certainly for the navy and anthracite versions.
