FAQs
What material is the LeMieux Show Jacket made from?
The jacket is made from an advanced technical fabric that offers excellent stretch and recovery properties.
Is this jacket suitable for all weather conditions?
While it features vented panels for breathability, it is primarily a competition jacket designed for performance. For very cold weather, additional layers may be necessary. For very hot weather, the breathability features will be most beneficial.
How do I wash the LeMieux Show Jacket?
It should be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius with a mild detergent. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Reshape whilst damp and iron on a low heat.
Can the jacket be worn for activities other than competition?
While designed for competition, its comfort and flexibility may make it suitable for other equestrian activities. However, its tailored aesthetic is optimized for a show ring appearance.
What is the main advantage of the vented side panels?
The vented side panels enhance breathability by allowing air to circulate, which helps keep the rider cool and comfortable under pressure.
Are the press studs functional or just decorative?
The custom LeMieux press studs are functional, providing a secure and practical fastening option in addition to the front zip.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels restrictive.
Ensure the jacket is the correct size and that the front zip is fully lowered. The technical fabric is designed for stretch; if it feels restrictive, double-check the fit.
Excessive heat during wear.
The vented side panels are designed to improve airflow. If overheating persists, consider the ambient temperature and the layers worn underneath. Ensure the vents are not obstructed.
Press studs are difficult to fasten/unfasten.
Ensure the press studs are properly aligned before attempting to fasten. If they feel stiff, use a small amount of graphite pencil lead on the stud contact points, or try wiggling them slightly when unfastening. Avoid forcing them.
Fabric shows signs of losing shape.
Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid high heat drying or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the stretch and recovery properties of the technical fabric.
