Shires Aubrion Saratoga Jacket - Premium Equestrian Show Riding Apparel

Step into the show ring with the confidence of a champion and the timeless elegance of traditional British tailoring. The Aubrion Saratoga Jacket blends high-performance flexibility with a sophisticated silhouette, ensuring you look as polished as your performance feels.

Expertly crafted by Shires, this jacket features a premium wool-rich tweed blend that marries the warmth and classic texture of natural wool with the rugged durability of modern synthetics. The interior is just as impressive as the exterior, featuring a luxurious full satin lining—often adorned with a signature pheasant print—that glides effortlessly over your competition shirt to prevent bunching and restriction during peak performance.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Wool-Rich Tweed Blend: A high-quality 60% wool and 40% polyester composition offers a traditional aesthetic with enhanced longevity for the active rider.
• Modern Contour Silhouette: Tailored with a figure-flattering, "contour" fit that eliminates boxy bulk while maintaining a professional, streamlined appearance in the saddle.
• Double Rear Vents: Specifically engineered for maximum freedom of movement, allowing the jacket to drape perfectly over the cantle without restricting your seat.
• Premium Velvet Accents: Elegant velvet trims on the collar and pocket flaps provide a sophisticated touch of luxury that stands out in the show ring or the hunt field.
• Engraved Horse-Head Buttons: Meticulously detailed hardware adds a bespoke, high-end feel to this classic competition staple.
• Chest-Based Sizing: Sold in UK dress sizes (e.g., UK 12) but optimized for accuracy by following chest measurements in inches (e.g., 36” chest) to ensure a perfect fit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I order the correct size for a competition fit?
A: The Aubrion Saratoga is designed with a modern contour fit to be snug and flattering. We recommend using your chest measurement in inches as your primary guide; however, if you plan to wear thick layers like a thermal or heavy stock shirt for winter hunting, many riders find that sizing up provides the best comfort.

Q: Is this jacket suitable for multiple riding disciplines?
A: Yes, it is incredibly versatile. While the traditional tweed is a staple for showing and fox hunting, the athletic cut and premium finish make it a popular choice for Pony Club activities and entry-level Dressage, Show Jumping, and Eventing.
