FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for all weather?

It is best suited for fair weather or indoor arenas. It is not waterproof and should be kept dry.

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

No. Due to the velvet material and tailored construction, it must be dry cleaned.

Does the jacket come in different colors?

Yes, it is available in several colors including Black and Blue variants.

How should the jacket fit?

It should fit snugly across the shoulders and chest without pulling at the buttons, allowing enough room for a competition shirt underneath.

Are the brass buttons purely decorative?

No, they are functional fastenings that secure the front of the jacket and the cuffs.

Is the jacket heavy to wear?

It is designed to have a professional weight that provides a crisp, tailored look without being excessively heavy or restrictive.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or lint on the velvet fabric

Use a soft-bristled garment brush and stroke gently in the direction of the nap.

Buttons feel loose after repeated use

Carefully inspect the stitching at the back of the button and reinforce with matching thread if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Shires Aston Show Jacket maintains its appearance, store it on a wide, shaped hanger to prevent shoulder sagging. Because of the velvet composition, avoid wearing the jacket in heavy rain, as moisture can affect the texture of the fabric.

Care Instructions:

Do not machine wash: The delicate nature of the velvet requires professional handling.
Dry cleaning only: Always consult with a dry cleaner familiar with handling equestrian show apparel.
Dust removal: Use a soft-bristled garment brush, brushing gently in the direction of the fabric pile to remove dust or horse hair.
Storage: Keep in a breathable garment bag when not in use to protect from debris and light fading.
