Trolle Half Placket Show Shirt Ladies

Use this shirt in the classes where a white collar or a white shirt is asked for, and while warming up. Work with the measurements Trolle gives: in size S the half chest measurement is 45 cm and the total length 63 cm, and each size up adds 2 cm of chest measurement and 1 cm of length. That tells you beforehand whether the slim fit suits you. Pair the shirt with a white tie or stock if your rulebook calls for one. For care, follow the label, because Trolle publishes no washing instructions. Wash inside out on a low programme, without fabric softener, and let the shirt air-dry.

Choose this shirt if you want the look of a classic competition shirt, with a high collar and a closed front, but in a technical fabric. That makes it the counterpart of the Trolle Center Line Competition Polo Balance women's model, which has a polo-style zip and a knitted back panel. If you ride in colder conditions or want a white cuff under your jacket, a long-sleeve model suits you better, for instance the Samshield Marina long-sleeve women's competition shirt. And if you want a shirt with a stock tie for dressage, you are better off looking at a bib model from the Cavalleria Toscana range.

Close the press studs of the half placket and straighten the high collar neatly; under a jacket the front then stays flat. For care, the label in the shirt is the source, because Trolle publishes no washing instructions for this model. Wash the shirt inside out on a low programme, without fabric softener and without bleach, and let it air-dry rather than putting it in the tumble dryer.

What is this shirt made of?

Trolle states: 75% polyamide and 25% elastane.

Does this shirt have short or long sleeves?

Short sleeves. Trolle describes the model as 'short sleeves' and gives a sleeve length of 17 cm in size S, which confirms it.

How does the size run?

Trolle cuts the shirt as a slim fit and gives concrete measurements: in size S the half chest measurement is 45 cm and the total length 63 cm, with 2 cm and 1 cm of difference per size respectively. At Maddelin, XS, S and M are available.

How should I wash the shirt?

Follow the label in the shirt; Trolle publishes no washing instructions. Washing inside out on a low programme, without fabric softener and without a tumble dryer, is the safest habit with technical riding shirts.

How does the front fasten?

With an invisible half placket with concealed press studs. There is therefore no visible row of buttons and no visible zip; the front stays flat under a jacket.

Does the high collar do instead of a tie?

That depends on your federation. In the LEWB showjumping rules a closed stand-up collar counts for women as an alternative to the tie; the FEI showjumping rules ask for a white tie, stock or choker. Check the rulebook of your own federation.

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. Short sleeves are enough. In Belgian dressage the tie stays compulsory even without a jacket.
