Cavalleria Toscana Tailcoat Tech Knit Men

Take the weights out of the tails before you wash the jacket or store it for a longer period, and hang the tailcoat on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape. Follow the care label inside the jacket when washing. Brush the Alcantara parts dry; use no water or cleaning products on them.

Pair the tailcoat with white breeches and a competition shirt or stock from our range. Before you go in, check that the tails hang evenly once you are in the saddle and that the chest pocket is empty, so the front panel stays flat.

This tailcoat is meant for the male rider competing in dressage at the level where a tailcoat is required. Navy gives a slightly softer appearance than black, and this version is available in size S (Men 46).

If you jump, or ride dressage at a level where the shorter show jacket is usual, a men's show jacket from our range is the better choice. If you are looking for a tailcoat in black or in another size, we'll look together at what we can order in for you.

The tails hold removable weights that let them hang down calmly while you are seated. Before you start, check that both tails hang level and that the chest pocket is empty, so the front stays flat.

Take the weights out before washing the tailcoat or storing it for longer, and follow the care label inside the jacket. Brush the Alcantara parts dry, without water or cleaning products, and hang the jacket on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape.

What is the difference between a tailcoat and an ordinary show jacket?
A tailcoat is the long dressage coat: short at the front and continuing at the back in two tails. A show jacket is the shorter model you wear in show jumping and at the lower dressage levels.

How does this show jacket fit?
The source says the jacket adapts to your movement but makes no statement about running large or small. It therefore follows the stated size S (Men 46). If you are torn between two sizes, get in touch and we'll go through your chest measurement and sleeve length together.

Can I wear this jacket over a body protector or airbag vest?
The product information does not specify this, so we cannot confirm it. If you always ride in an airbag vest, contact us beforehand.

What are the weights in the tails for?
They keep the tails hanging neatly downward while you sit, so the points don't lift or sit crooked. They are removable, so you take them out before washing.

Is this jacket available 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.

Am I allowed to compete in a navy tailcoat?
Rules on the colour and cut of competition dress differ per discipline, per federation and per year. Check the current rules of your own federation.

How do you care for this tailcoat?
Follow the care label inside the jacket and take the weights out of the tails first. Brush the Alcantara parts dry, without water or cleaning product.
