    The Show Ring Edit

    Dress the part from first class to last

    Three things decide a man's show outfit: a coat that suits the ring and moves with you, a shirt that stays cool and tucked, and the stock tie or choker that finishes it.

    Show Coats

    The right men's show coat for your ring and your build

    Alessandro Albanese, Ovation and Shires Aubrion cut their men's show coats in stretch fabric, so the coat moves with you over fences and through a long day. The Alessandro Albanese Motion Lite is 78% nylon and 22% spandex with no lining and a zip and button front; the Motion Flex uses a breathable, water-repellent super-stretch fabric with a hidden zipper and removable buttons.

    For hot shows, the Shires Aubrion Optima MX pairs stretch fabric with a moisture-wicking mesh lining and a four-button front over a hidden zipper, and the TuffRider EquiVent uses a mesh-like fabric built for airflow. The Ovation PowerFlex Light keeps a traditional hunter look in a lightweight stretch fabric with three buttons and a double vent. Look elsewhere if you want natural fiber next to the skin: the Alessandro Albanese TechnoShow is 65% wool and 25% cotton with a water-repellent finish.

    Size a men's show coat by chest first: these coats are sized by chest in inches, with Regular and Long lengths where the maker offers them, and LeMieux states that its size is the chest measurement in inches. Choose Long if your sleeves usually stop short of the wrist.

    Hunt Coats

    Hunt coats, tweeds and vests for traditional classes

    For the hunt field and traditional classes, RJ Classics makes the Knight Melton Hunt Coat in 400g Italian Melton (80% wool, 20% nylon) with a detachable collar tab, the 100% wool Charlie Tweed Hunt Coat, and the wool Cheshire Hunt Vest with brass buttons. Upper-level dressage riders wear a shadbelly, and the Alessandro Albanese Platinum MotionLite Shadbelly closes with a hidden zip and carries interchangeable tail weights.

    A tweed hacking jacket like the Charlie is the traditional choice for informal days, and a black Melton coat is the formal one, though your hunt's or show's dress code has the final word. The Cheshire vest comes in canary and in an almond tattersall.

    Show Shirts

    Show shirts that stay cool, tucked and show-ready

    Shires Aubrion, Alessandro Albanese and TuffRider make men's show shirts in technical stretch fabrics that wick and dry quickly. The Shires Aubrion Optima MX Zip Show Shirt has a quarter zip, perforated sleeves and back panel and a tie keeper, and the Optima MX Button Show Shirt has a button-down collar in a relaxed fit.

    The Alessandro Albanese Gabrio is a polo-style show shirt with a hidden zip placket, perforated panels and UPF 50+. The TuffRider Dennison Short Sleeve Show Shirt is micro polyester infused with EquiCool, with a button collar and a tie stay, and the Equinavia Lars is breathable pique with a polo-style quarter button placket and a tie loop.

    For a traditional long-sleeve shirt, the Shires Men's Hunt Shirt is 65% polyester and 35% cotton with a cotton-trimmed neck, and the Alessandro Albanese Long Sleeve Polo Technical has a tie collar in fitted stretch pique. Look elsewhere if you show in a polo shirt: USEF hunter rules do not permit one when jackets are waived.

    Stock Ties

    Stock ties and what each ring asks of a man's outfit

    Ovation, Shires Aubrion, RJ Classics and Shires make white stock ties in ready-tied and untied styles: the Ovation Dri-Tex Ready-Tie Dressage Stock Tie fastens without tying, and the Ovation Classic Untied Stock Tie is tied by hand.

    The table below sets out what each ring's rulebook asks of the coat. Look elsewhere if you ride Western: these coats, shirts and ties are cut for English rings.

      Questions riders ask

      Men's Show Clothes FAQ

      How should a men's show coat fit?

      A men's show coat should button across the chest without pulling, sit square on the shoulders and show a little shirt cuff at the wrist when your arms are forward. Measure around the fullest part of your chest for the size, and choose a Long length if sleeves usually stop short. Open the Show Coats sizes in Find Your Fit above to see what is in your size.

      What color show coat should a man wear?

      USEF hunter rules call for scarlet or dark coats. USEF and USDF dressage allow a coat of any single color, and eventing asks for a dark color or tweed in the dressage and show jumping phases. Navy and black suit every one of those rings, which is why most men start there. Check your ring's current rulebook before you buy a colored coat.

      Do I need a show coat at a schooling or local show?

      Often not. USDF Level 1 and Opportunity classes do not require a jacket, and when hunter management waives jackets, USEF rules ask for a riding shirt with a choker or tie, not a polo shirt. Read the prize list for your show, and pack a coat whenever it says nothing about jackets.

      Short sleeve or long sleeve show shirt?

      Short sleeves are cooler for summer shows and under a coat in the warm-up, and long sleeves suit cooler days and traditional hunter classes. Both styles here come in technical fabrics with a tie loop or tie keeper for your stock or tie. Choose by the season you show most, and keep a spare shirt in the trailer.

      What is a shadbelly?

      A shadbelly is a tailcoat with a short front and long tails, worn by dressage riders at the upper levels, by eventers in the dressage phase at the higher levels, and by some fox hunting members. Most riders do not need one until their level calls for it. Check your federation's dress rules for your level before you buy one.
