What do you actually wear for a competition?
For most affiliated and unaffiliated classes the outfit is built the same way: a competition shirt next to the skin, a tailored show jacket over the top, breeches or jodhpurs, long boots or jodhpur boots with gaiters, gloves and a correctly fitted riding hat. The jacket and shirt are the parts this collection covers.
Dress rules differ by discipline, by society and sometimes by individual venue - things like collar type, permitted colours and whether jackets can be dispensed with in hot weather are all set by the rulebook, not by us. Always check the current rules for the class you are entering before you buy.
Softshell, mesh or tweed - what is the difference?
The Dublin Casey Tailored Jacket is a softshell competition jacket, which is the closest thing to an all-rounder here: it holds a smart tailored line and copes with a changeable British show day. The Dublin Hanna Mesh Tailored Childs Jacket II uses mesh construction, so it is the pick for a hot afternoon when a solid jacket feels heavy. The Dublin Albany Tweed Suede Collar Tailored Jacket is the traditional option - tweed with a suede collar, the look expected in showing and country classes rather than in a jumping arena.
How are the sizes written?
Ladies jackets are listed as dress size and chest measurement together, for example "12/36 Inch" - so a size 12 with a 36 inch chest. Child jackets and shirts are listed as a single number, from Childs 6 up to Childs 14. Shirts for adults use standard letter sizing from X-Small through to XX-Large. If you are between two, measure over the shirt you plan to compete in, since a show jacket has to close cleanly over the top.
Which shirt goes under a show jacket?
The Dublin Ria Sleeveless Competition Shirt is designed for exactly that job - no sleeve bulk under a fitted jacket, which is the most common complaint riders have about layering. The short-sleeve Ria shirts suit warm-up, a jacket-optional class, or riders who prefer a little more coverage. Only limited sizes of each remain, so check the size grid before setting your heart on one.
Can a child and an adult match?
Yes. The Casey jacket comes in both a ladies and a childs version, and the Albany tweed does the same - so a parent and child, or a rider and a lead-rein jockey, can turn out in the same jacket. The Ria shirt also appears in both childs and ladies listings.
Dublin competition clothing FAQs
What is the cheapest Dublin competition item you have in stock?
The Dublin Ria Sleeveless Competition Shirt at £20.00, currently in Ladies X-Small in white/navy. For jackets, the lowest in-stock price is the Dublin Hanna Mesh Tailored Childs Jacket II at £41.09 in Childs 6. Prices and sizes shift as stock sells, so the product page shows the live position.
Which Dublin jacket should I choose for showing classes?
The Dublin Albany Tweed Suede Collar Tailored Jacket in brown, from £94.49 in ladies sizes and from £80.99 on the childs listing. Tweed with a suede collar is the traditional look for showing and country classes. For jumping and general competition, the navy or black Dublin Casey Tailored Jacket from £69.29 is the more usual choice. Check your society's current dress rules first, as they vary by class.
Do these jackets come in children's sizes?
They do. The Dublin Casey Tailored Childs Jacket is in stock in Childs 6 to 14 in navy blue (with black in Childs 6 and 8) from £57.59, the Dublin Albany Tweed Suede Collar Tailored Childs Jacket in Childs 6 to 14 in brown from £80.99, and the Dublin Hanna Mesh Tailored Childs Jacket II in Childs 6 from £41.09.
What size should I order if I am between two sizes?
Measure your chest over the competition shirt you intend to wear, then use the ladies sizing that pairs a dress size with a chest measurement, such as 12/36 Inch. A show jacket needs to fasten cleanly with a shirt underneath and still let you fold forward over a fence, so if you are genuinely between sizes most riders find the larger one more comfortable. Get in touch and our team will help if you would rather talk it through.
What if the jacket does not fit when it arrives?
You have 90 days to return it. Try it on indoors over your competition shirt and keep the packaging and tags on until you are sure, since an item that has been worn in the arena cannot be resold. If you need a different size, get in touch and our team will help sort the exchange.
Is delivery free on Dublin competition clothing?
UK delivery is free on orders over £50. Every adult jacket here clears that on its own, as does the Dublin Casey Tailored Childs Jacket at £57.59. A single competition shirt, or the Dublin Hanna Mesh Tailored Childs Jacket II at £41.09, falls under the threshold - so pairing a shirt with a jacket, or adding a second shirt, is the usual way riders get there.
