Description
The Vestrum Lab Altair is a ladies' show jacket in navy, a classic dark blue shade. You wear it as a formal outer layer over your competition shirt during tests and rounds. With three sizes, from XS up to and including M, this is the version of this model with the widest size range. Dark blue combines easily with white and light competition shirts.
About this show jacket
This Altair comes from the Vestrum Lab line and is meant for the moment when a smart, presentable outfit is required or wanted. You put the jacket on over your competition shirt and combine it with competition breeches and the rest of the clothing that belongs to your discipline.
In the ring, navy does what you expect from a base colour: it does not draw attention, but it finishes the picture. A dark blue jacket needs little coordination, because any white or off-white competition shirt works underneath it. That allows you to use this jacket for years as the fixed base of your competition wardrobe, even when the rest of your outfit changes.
The difference with an ordinary riding jacket or training jacket lies mainly in the application. The Altair is a show jacket, aimed at a well-turned-out competition picture. If you are looking for a jacket to wear at the yard every day or to protect you against cold and wet weather, a training jacket or winter jacket from our range is a more suitable choice.
You wear the jacket during your test or round and, depending on the rules that apply at your competition, also during preparation and the prize-giving. For care there is a clear instruction, which is handy with a dark colour you want to keep looking smart.
Key benefits
- Classic navy that combines with virtually every competition shirt and every pair of breeches
- Three sizes available, so a better chance of finding the right fit
- Usable as the fixed base jacket in your competition wardrobe, season after season
- Clear washing instruction, so you know how to keep the colour looking good
- Aimed at a smart competition outfit, not at daily yard use
- Also wearable during preparation and the prize-giving
When to choose this product
Choose this version when you are looking for a dark blue show jacket in size XS, S or M and prefer to wear a classic colour rather than a seasonal shade. It is intended for competitions and official tests, whichever discipline you compete in, as long as the rules allow such a jacket.
If you mainly ride at home or in training, or if you want a jacket for cold and wet weather, a training jacket or winter jacket within our range is a better place to look. If you are looking for a black jacket or a version in another colour, the other show jackets in our collection are a better match.
Fit
Nothing is specified about the fit of the Lab Altair; the jacket follows the stated EU and IT size. The model runs from XS (EU34 - IT38) through S (EU36 - IT40) to M (EU38 - IT42); the current sizes are shown in the size selector on the page.
If you are unsure between two sizes, let us know your body measurements. If you wear a body protector or airbag vest, ask us for advice before choosing a size, as nothing is stated about this either.

Expert advice
A dark blue jacket looks calmest over a white competition shirt and light competition breeches. If you want a little more depth in your outfit, off-white or soft beige breeches from our range also work well under navy. Keep the jacket on a broad hanger in a garment bag, so the shoulders keep their shape during transport.
Washing is done at 30°C. Bleaching, dry cleaning and tumble drying are not allowed. If ironing is needed, that is permitted up to 110°C. Stay within those limits and the dark blue colour will stay even.
Use & care
You wear the Lab Altair as a formal outer layer over your competition shirt at competitions and official tests, and depending on the rules also during the warm-up and the prize-giving. It is not meant for yard work or cold, wet weather. Carry the jacket on a wide hanger in a garment bag so the shoulders keep their shape.
Wash the jacket at 30°C. Bleaching, dry cleaning and tumble drying are not allowed. Ironing is allowed up to 110°C.
