Tommy Hilfiger Equestrian Alex Competition Shirt Men

Fix the press studs at the collar points and slide your tie through the tie loop before you put your jacket on; the top edge then stays neat even if the jacket comes open. Keep white competition kit separate: take the shirt out of your bag only on competition day and pull your jacket over it as late as you can. Because the collar is a cotton blend and the rest is polyamide with elastane, those two parts do not dry at the same speed; so hang the shirt out on a hanger rather than leaving it rolled up. No washing instructions are documented for this model, so follow the care label in the garment. Deal with a stain quickly and at a low temperature in any case.

Choose the Alex if you want a plain white shirt at a competition with a classic collar that stays standing, and if you like having a tie loop to fix your stock. It suits men in dressage, showjumping and eventing, as soon as a white collar is asked for. If you know for certain that you need long sleeves, for instance because white cuffs are asked for in your class, the Boss Equestrian Norman Show Shirt is clearer: that model is expressly long-sleeved and has a removable tie clip. If you mainly ride on hot days, a short-sleeve model is more comfortable. And if your size is not here, another model within the range is the practical answer.

Button the shirt up, fix the press studs at the collar points and slide your tie or stock through the tie loop below the button fastening. Wear it under your show jacket, or on its own where that is allowed. No washing instructions are documented for this model in the official product data, so follow the care label in the garment itself. After washing, hang the shirt out on a hanger, so the cotton-blend collar keeps its shape.

What is the Alex Show Shirt for?

Tommy Hilfiger Equestrian brings the model to market as a competition shirt for men: a white shirt to wear under your show jacket, with a classic collar in a cotton blend and a tie loop.

What material is the shirt made of?

The manufacturer states 84% polyamide and 16% elastane, noted in its own data as nylon and spandex. The collar is made from a cotton blend; no separate composition is stated for that collar.

What are those press studs at the collar for?

They fix the collar points against the front panel, so those points stay put under a show jacket or above a tie.

Does this shirt have long or short sleeves?

The manufacturer does not state the sleeve length for this model. That does matter as soon as riding without a jacket is allowed: in showjumping the shirt must then have sleeves, short or long.

What does UPF 40 mean here?

It is a value the manufacturer states for this model. No test method or standard is given with it, and no CE marking or EU declaration of conformity has been found for this product.

Is this shirt permitted at a competition?

That depends on your federation, your discipline and your level. In showjumping the FEI prescribes a white collar and a white tie, stock or choker, and for children and pony riders a fully white shirt. In Belgian dressage a white shirt applies. Check the current rules of your own federation.

How should I wash the shirt?

Washing instructions are not in the official product data. Follow the care label in the garment itself.

How does the size run?

The manufacturer supplies no size guide or description of the cut. The fabric has four-way stretch and contains 16% elastane, so a size that just fits usually stays comfortable. Today only size M (men 48) is still available.
