Samshield Victorine Crystal Intarsia Women's Competition Jacket

Navy with champagne combines most quietly with a white competition shirt and white breeches. Brown leather sits more warmly alongside the champagne shade, black leather gives a crisper contrast. Wear the crystal finish as the only adornment in the ring, and the whole stays understated.

The jacket is washable at 30 degrees. Wash it with the zip closed and preferably inside out, so the crystals do not rub against the drum. Then hang the jacket on a coat hanger and do not put it in the tumble dryer. After every wash, check that all the stones are still firmly attached, so you spot a loose crystal before it happens in the ring.

This jacket suits the rider who wants a refined, eye-catching appearance at competitions and deliberately chooses a jacket with a crystal finish for it. It works in dressage, show jumping and eventing at the levels where an ordinary show jacket is worn, and its airbag suitability makes it interesting for anyone riding with a Helite vest.

If you want a completely plain appearance without sparkle, an unadorned show jacket from our Samshield range is the quieter choice. And if you are specifically after a jacket for high-summer days with plenty of ventilation, our range includes models with mesh or ventilation panels that go further in that direction.

Close the jacket with the hidden zip behind the row of buttons; the buttons are decorative. This keeps the front smooth, even at canter. If you ride with a Helite airbag vest, bear in mind that the function comes from the vest, not the jacket.

Wash the jacket at 30 degrees, with the zip closed and preferably inside out, so the crystals do not rub against the drum. Then hang it on a hanger; do not tumble dry. After every wash, check that all the stones are still secure.

How does this show jacket fit?
The Victorine has a feminine cut that sits close to the body, shorter at the front and longer at the back. This version is offered in size XXXS (EU30 - IT34), the smallest size in the series. If you are unsure whether that size will suit you, get in touch before you order.

Can I wear this jacket over a body protector or airbag vest?
This jacket is suitable for wearing over a Helite airbag vest. The protection comes from the vest itself, not from the jacket, and only when the vest is worn and maintained correctly. If you wear a different type of body protector, get in touch before you choose a size.

Does this jacket come in other sizes or colours?
What we stock as standard is listed under the technical specifications: navy with a champagne-coloured finish in size XXXS (EU30 - IT34). Other sizes or colours can be ordered in on request.

Are the stones genuine Swarovski crystals?
Yes. The finish consists of Swarovski crystals, applied to the collar and in the details of the jacket.

How do I wash a jacket with crystals without damaging them?
Wash at 30 degrees, with the zip closed and preferably inside out. Then hang the jacket on a coat hanger and do not use a tumble dryer. After washing, check that all the stones are still firmly attached.

What is the difference between the Victorine and the Victory from the same brand?
Those are two different models within the Samshield range. This page is exclusively about the Victorine in the Crystal Intarsia version.

Why is the front shorter than the back?
That cut keeps the front clear of your thigh when you come into light seat, while the longer back preserves the classic silhouette when you are seen from the side.

May I wear a jacket with crystals at a competition?
The rules on the colour, cut and finish of competition clothing differ per discipline, per federation and per year. So check the rules currently in force for your discipline and federation.
