Description
LeMieux Sophia Short Sleeve Pleated Show Shirt
The LeMieux Sophia Short Sleeve Pleated Show Shirt is a technical competition shirt for riders who want an elegant, cool finish in the ring. It is made from a breathable performance fabric with a ventilated area under the sleeve, a textured bib front, pleated collar detailing, an invisible magnet placket and side loops to secure a stock.
It is best for showing, dressage and summer competition days when a long sleeve shirt feels too warm, and it also works well for clinics, lessons and smart yard days. Team it with a LeMieux ready-tie stock for a complete, coordinated look.
Key Features
- Breathable technical fabric with a ventilated area under the sleeve to help regulate temperature while you ride
- Textured bib front for a sophisticated, show-ready appearance
- Pleated collar detailing that lifts the neckline above a standard competition shirt
- Invisible magnet placket for a clean front with no visible buttons

How to Use
- Check your usual UK dress size against the LeMieux size chart and size up if you prefer room for layering.
- Fasten the magnet placket from the top down so the front sits flat and smooth.
- Thread your ready-tie or traditional stock through the side loops to hold it in position.
- Tuck the shirt into your breeches and put on your show jacket, checking the collar sits evenly.
- After competing, machine wash cool with similar colours and hang to dry.
FAQ
Does the LeMieux Sophia show shirt come with a stock?
No, the shirt is supplied on its own. It has loops at the sides designed to secure a stock, and it teams well with a LeMieux ready-tie stock bought separately.
Is this shirt suitable for dressage as well as showing?
Yes. The textured bib front, pleated collar and magnet placket give a smart, traditional finish that suits dressage, showing and working hunter classes, as well as clinics and lessons.
Will a short sleeve show shirt be warm enough under a jacket?
Short sleeves are chosen for warmer weather and indoor summer competitions, where a long sleeve shirt under a jacket can feel too hot. For colder months many riders prefer a long sleeve competition shirt.
How does the Sophia show shirt fit?
It is cut as a fitted competition shirt so it sits neatly under a jacket. If you are between sizes, or want extra room across the bust and shoulders, choose the larger size.
What is the invisible magnet placket?
The front closes with concealed magnets rather than visible buttons, so the bib front stays smooth and uninterrupted when you are in the ring.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash cool with similar colours, avoid bleach and fabric conditioner, and do not tumble dry so the technical fibres keep their breathability and shape.
