Riding Jackets & Show Coats

A riding jacket needs to keep a crisp line while letting you ride freely through the shoulder.

For the Rider

A riding jacket needs to keep a crisp line while letting you ride freely through the shoulder. Our jackets range from tailored, machine-washable show coats for the ring to warm, waterproof coats for cold, wet days around the yard and hacking out.

Modern stretch fabrics mean you no longer have to choose between smartness and movement or between staying dry and staying comfortable.

Competition jackets

A show coat should fit cleanly through the body and allow a quiet, still upper body in the saddle. Stretch softshell coats hold a tailored line while moving with you, and most are machine washable, a practical advantage over traditional wool.

Waterproof and yard jackets

For everyday use, look for a genuine waterproof and breathable membrane with taped seams, a drop tail for coverage in the saddle, and a hood you can adjust or roll away. Fleece-lined pockets are a welcome touch on cold mornings.

Care and reproofing

Waterproof coats benefit from occasional reproofing to restore water repellency. Wash with a technical cleaner rather than ordinary detergent, which can strip the finish.

Riding Jackets & Show Coats: your questions answered

A taped-seam waterproof membrane, breathability so you do not overheat, a drop tail for saddle coverage and an adjustable hood. Deep, secure pockets are a bonus for the yard.

Many modern stretch show jackets are machine washable on a gentle cycle, unlike traditional wool coats. Always check the individual care label.
