Cavalleria Toscana Women's Pleated Bibi Jersey L/S Show Shirt

The Pleated Bibi Jersey L/S from Cavalleria Toscana is a women's competition shirt with long sleeves and a pleated bib at the front. It is meant for the competition arena and sits under a jacket without adding volume. You will find it here in pink in sizes XS and S, and in white in size M.

About this competition shirt

This shirt brings two things together: the knitted jersey fabric that allows movement, and a pleated front panel that takes over the role of a stock tie. The pleats are in the bib, so in the part that stays visible when you open the jacket. The sleeves are long and end in a cuff.

Long sleeves carry a requirement of their own. That is the point to know about this model: in showjumping the FEI rules expressly require white cuffs with long sleeves, alongside the white collar and the white tie, stock or choker. A coloured shirt with long sleeves therefore runs into an extra condition there that does not exist with a short-sleeve model. For children and pony riders the whole shirt must be white.

Pink or white makes a difference. The white version is the only one usable where a white shirt is prescribed, and at Belgian national level that is the case in dressage. Internationally the dressage rules say nothing about the shirt and ask only for a white or off-white stock or tie. The pink version is therefore mainly a training and leisure choice, or something for classes in which the shirt body is free. Keep in mind that the sizes differ per colour: pink in XS and S, white in M.

When long sleeves help and when they do not. A long sleeve keeps the arm covered right into the cuff, which gives a neater line under a show jacket and sits more comfortably on cooler days. On a warm day that is exactly the drawback: the fabric is thin, but a long sleeve remains a long sleeve. If the ground jury decides in very warm weather that riders may compete without a jacket, this shirt is usable, because it has sleeves; sleeveless is ruled out there.

Not stated by the manufacturer. Cavalleria Toscana no longer has a product page online for this item. The fibre composition, the collar material, the type of fastening, the cuff detail, the fabric weight, the country of manufacture and the washing instructions are therefore unconfirmed. Rules also change regularly, so always check the current rules of your own federation.
