Sizing Guide

This shirt features a tailored fit designed for show ring appearance. For proper fit, measure your bust at the fullest point while wearing a bra. XS typically fits bust 30-32 inches, S fits 32-34 inches, M fits 34-36 inches, L fits 36-38 inches, XL fits 38-40 inches, 2XL fits 40-42 inches, and 3XL fits 42-44 inches. The shirt should fit close to the body without pulling or gapping, allowing you to move your arms freely for riding. Show shirts are designed to be worn tucked into breeches with a show coat over top.

Care and Maintenance Instructions

Machine wash in cold water using mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat performance fibers and reduce moisture-wicking effectiveness. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Do not use bleach or harsh stain removers, which can damage technical fabrics. Remove from dryer promptly to minimize wrinkles. The EquiCool fabric dries quickly, making this shirt convenient to wash between shows. Iron on low heat if needed. For show day preparation, hang the shirt in a steamy bathroom to release minor wrinkles, or use a handheld steamer.

• Multi-Day Shows: Quick-dry properties allow washing between show days
• Schooling Shows: Professional appearance for local competitions

Understanding Moisture-Wicking Technology

Moisture-wicking fabrics use specialized fibers that pull sweat away from your skin through capillary action, spreading it across the fabric's surface where it can evaporate quickly. This process keeps you drier and more comfortable than cotton or standard polyester, which absorb sweat and become heavy and clammy. For equestrians competing in summer heat, this technology makes a significant difference in comfort and performance. The cooling effect helps you maintain focus and composure during classes, while preventing the distraction and discomfort of being overheated.

Ventilated Mesh Panel Benefits

The strategically placed mesh panel on the upper back targets the area where heat builds up most during riding. This ventilation allows hot air to escape while drawing cooler air in, creating airflow that enhances the cooling effect of the moisture-wicking fabric. The mesh is positioned where it won't be visible under a show coat, maintaining professional appearance while providing maximum cooling benefit. This thoughtful design detail demonstrates how technical innovation can be integrated into traditional show apparel.
