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.


The competition riding jackets for men tend to be fairly sober in appearance and the options available come in black, dark grey or navy. The jackets are stylish though and gents have a few choices in detail. This can include the length of the jacket, how many pockets to have and they type of collar to opt for.

Plenty of kids enjoy riding and this can especially be the case with girls. Pikeur cater to this market through their competition jacket aimed specifically at young ladies. This shorter length garment is offered in two colors, with black or navy the choices. Opting for a velvet collar rather than plain can add a nice touch and the easily laundered material makes it the perfect choice for children.

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.

Apart from competition apparel, Pikeur also offers a range of casual wear for riding. Some of the garments available include fleece jackets for anyone that wants a little more warmth and hooded styles to provide cover for the head. Other casual styles include quilted down jackets and stylish blousons. While the majority of the casual styles are aimed at women, there are some available for men.

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 Pikeur style extends to life away from horse riding and there are a few jackets that can be worn at any time. Women have options such as the Latessa, which is a three-quarter length jacket meant for cooler weather. As well as being warm, it is also a practical choice. The chest and pat pockets provide some space to carry essentials and a vent and adjustment feature in the rear allow it to be altered for a better 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.
