Is this show top suitable for all equestrian disciplines?
Yes, its clean, traditional design makes it appropriate for dressage, hunter/jumper, and equitation classes.

No, the loop is integrated seamlessly into the woven collar so it lies flat against the neck.

The Ariat Aptos is designed as a competition shirt and looks professional enough to be worn on its own, especially in warm weather.
How does the sizing run for kids?
The Ariat Aptos is designed with an athletic, tailored fit; refer to the sizing chart to ensure the correct fit based on your rider's measurements.
Is the fabric see-through?

Should I iron this shirt?
If needed, use a cool iron or a steamer, but ensure you avoid the snap closures to prevent scratching.
Troubleshooting
Snap closure feeling loose
Check the placket for debris and ensure the snap is fully pressed into the female end until you hear a click.
Stubborn stains on white fabric
Pre-treat the affected area with a mild, color-safe stain remover before washing; avoid chlorine bleach as it can damage performance fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your show top in peak condition, always check the garment label for specific washing instructions. Because the fabric utilizes performance technology, avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the material. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors and hang to dry; this preserves the integrity of the snap closures and the fabric's stretch. For long-term storage, keep the top in a garment bag to avoid snagging or staining before your next event.
