Fashionable Riding With A Pikeur Jacket

By Katrina Wheeler


A Pikeur jacket is the garment to be seen in for those that take their horse riding seriously. This equine and country clothing retailer offers a wide range of ladies competition jackets. These come in both short and longer lengths and a few different styles from classic to more modern. Ladies have a few materials to choose from such as tweed, polyester mix and soft shell fabric. Some of the colors available include black, grey, bronze and red.

Men can buy their competition riding jackets from Pikeur, with a few selections available. These come in darker colors such as navy, grey and black. While the jackets available look similar in style there are a few noticeable differences. The number of pockets can vary, as can the length of the jacket and the style of the collar.

While the garments on offer are mostly aimed at adults, the company also offers a competition jacket for children. This is aimed at the little girl that enjoys riding and comes in a short style with side slits. It is offered in navy and black, with a choice of either a plain or velvet collar. The washable fabric makes it easy to clean

Dressage tails are available for both men and women, with these getting their name from the distinctive length of material hanging down the back of the riders legs. Competitors usually go through their dressage paces in darker colors, so the tails on offer come in either black or navy. Material options include High Wool, which is almost one hundred percent wool or Cool Wool, which is a mix with polyester.

Pikeur does not focus entirely on competition outfits and also stocks casual jackets. These are designed to keep riders comfortable, with fleece or quilted down jackets keeping out the cold while those with hoods provide a little head protection. They are not only designed to be practical though, with styles such as blousons also being fashionable. The casual range is predominantly for ladies although gents will find one or two for them.

Riding is an all-weather sport and for wetter days a Pikeur waterproof jacket is a sensible choice. Wearing one will keep a rider drier out in the rain and make for a more pleasant ride. Features incorporated into the design that help with this include taped seams to stop water ingress, elasticated cuffs and waist for a tight seal, and attached hoods that can be used when needed.

The company does not only make jackets for riding and there are a few options for those that want to retain the Pikeur look in their everyday life. The Latessa ladies jacket is an example of this. This mid-length jacket is designed to keep the wearer warm and has stylish features such as chest and waist pockets, stand up collar and back adjustment to ensure a perfect fit.

There are two basic ways to get your hands on a Pikeur jacket. The first is a ready-made garment, with the company having most of their jackets available for sale in this style. These came in many sizes to enable someone to find the perfect fit. For those that want to add extra touches to a jacket, a custom service is offered. This can enable a rider to wear something unique.
