LeMieux Mens Competition Stretch Show Jacket
Description
LeMieux Mens Show Jacket - Technical Competition Riding Jacket
The LeMieux Mens Show Jacket is a men's competition jacket designed for riders who compete in showing, dressage, showjumping and eventing classes. It combines vented side panels for breathability with a stretch and recovery fabric, so the rider stays cool and unrestricted while keeping a tailored, ring-ready appearance.
It is best for the competitive rider who finds traditional show jackets stiff or restrictive, and who wants a technical alternative that still looks smart in front of a judge. The front zip and custom LeMieux press studs keep the jacket closed and neat from warm-up to prize giving.

How to Use
- Measure your chest at the fullest point over the competition shirt you intend to wear.
- Choose the larger size if you are between sizes or plan to layer a base layer underneath.
- Put the jacket on over your shirt and stock or tie, then close the front zip fully.
- Fasten the LeMieux press studs so the front sits flat and neat.
- Sit in riding position and check the sleeves reach the wrist with the arms forward and the shoulders move freely.
- After competing, hang the jacket rather than folding it to keep the tailoring crisp.
FAQ
What size men's show jacket should I order?
Measure your chest at the fullest point over a competition shirt and compare it with the size chart. The fabric has stretch and recovery, but if you are between sizes or like to wear a base layer underneath, size up rather than down.
Is this jacket suitable for dressage and showjumping?
Yes. It is a competition jacket designed for competitive riders and is suited to showing, dressage, showjumping and eventing classes, as well as clinics and lessons. Always check your discipline's current dress rules before you compete.
How breathable is it?
Vented side panels are built into the design to allow air movement, which helps on warm days and during warm-up.
How does it fasten?
With a front zip supported by custom LeMieux press studs, which keeps the front line neat and secure while riding.
How should I wash and care for it?
Follow the garment care label. Fasten the zip and press studs first, wash with similar colours, reshape while damp and hang to dry rather than tumble drying to protect the stretch fibres.
Will it feel restrictive over the jump?
The fabric offers stretch and recovery and the tailoring is cut for riding, so the shoulders and elbows are free to move rather than pulling against you.
