need a new comp shirt.......must be breathable/technical/sporty/modern material, whatever you want to call it, not the old style cotton shirt.

the eurostar ones arent breathable enough to wear my back support with :(

like the look of the new pikeur one from the front but not 100% about the writing on the back.....that said, would like something a little bit different, not just plain.


go, go, go.....spend my money!!!

(needs to come in Uk6 or XS)
 
The Kerrits ones are lovely, really breathable material, lovely designs imho, & you won't see yourself coming & going in them, as the saying goes... All designs on website, kerrits.com, & you can buy direct or from Three Lows Equestrian.
 
I have the Pikeur one and Im very pleased with it - its very nicely fitted and breathable. I wear a prolite back support and the shirt doesnt feel bulky under it or rub. The writing on the back is quite pale grey and tbh once you have your jacket on you cant see it anyway x
 
I like my musto ones, they are super soft and breathable. So much so that I went and got a second one I liked my first one so much!
 
I was about to recommend the Teque-style shirts when I found these are the ones that Premier Equine have now taken over. They are really nice & have great 'wicking' qualities & last for ages. OH has worn his for about 5 seasons solidly (he's a sweaty thing:eek:) & its still going strong. Some of the sparkly ones might be up your street:D;)
 
Before Christmas I treated myself to a musto one & wore it for the first time last weekend & very pleased. Very soft, comfortable & breathable! Had its first wash & still looks new.
 
I liked the look of the new Mountain Horse ones, not been web ferreting yet to find a link though!

I have a couple of the Tech-style shirts and they are ok but I actually prefer my Kingsland Lovitas.

Prestatie Sport also do a very breathable trendy show shirt which is a bit different, not sure the quality/finish is as good as the other two brands mentioned.

Happy shopping
 
Ive got an Ariat sleeveless one which is stretchy and really lightweight with little air holes. No idea what its called, have tried googling but can't find it anywhere (its a few years old now). Im pretty certain I got it from Inchs though.
 
Sporting colours make to measure in whatever fabric you like and then you can add buttons of your choice etc, choose zip up or button through, I have several different ones and love them all
 
I'm sure mines a Musto one, keeps me cool in the summer, and in the winter, I just wear it (long sleeved) and a tweed jacket when hunting and I dont get cold. :)
 
Oooh! I have several Teque-Style ones (had 'em 5 or so years!) for showing - with the tie collar.
I didn't know they'd been bought out by PE and can't see the website (blocked on work pc) - are they any cheaper than they used to be ? Were around £45

Having been suprised by this myself, and I love my tequestyle shirts, I took a look at PE, I was a little :eek: at the price of them now.... over £60. Luckily I have had mine for at least 8 years and it still looks great so won't be replacing it yet!
 
One thing though with BD - we've been to a few shows where it was so ridiculously hot that they allowed people to ride without a jacket, and short sleeves were allowed, but not sleeveless. And no logos – which excludes all Kingsland shirts. (Obviously this very rarely happens and it doesn't look very smart to do dressage without a jacket but these were instances where it was s choice of no jacket or risk fainting with heatstroke...)
