Samshield Show Jackets

The Victorine is a show jacket with an asymmetric cut that is slightly shorter at the front, which makes it comfortable to wear in the saddle. According to Samshield, the Victorine Premium is suitable for show jumping, dressage and hunter classes.

The tailcoat is long and waisted, and Samshield explicitly describes the Frack Premium as a model for high-level dressage. Both are made from breathable stretch fabric from Italy. Samshield offers the women’s models in sizes 32 to 44.

Yes, according to the manufacturer, Samshield show jackets and tailcoats are machine washable. The fabric is crease resistant and dries quickly, so the jacket looks smart again after washing without much effort.

This also applies to the models with crystals such as Victorine Crystal Fabric and Frack Crystal Fabric. Follow the care label of your jacket for temperature and programme, so that the fabric and embellishments stay beautiful for a long time.

At Samshield, Crystal Fabric refers to models with additional Swarovski crystals. On the Victorine Crystal Fabric, the Samshield crest made of crystals is on the arm, with additional crystal details on the collar. The Frack Crystal Fabric also carries crystals on the back, front and sleeve ends.

The more understated Victorine also has a crest with Swarovski crystals on the arm, but without the additional details. On the Victorine and Victorine Crystal Fabric there is a zip underneath the buttons.

For its show jackets Samshield uses breathable, stretchy fabrics from Italy. On the Premium models Victorine Premium and Frack Premium the fabric is also quick drying and has UV protection of UPF 50+.

In addition, these two models have a lining made from elastic mesh, which is intended to further support air circulation. Samshield also describes the Victorine and the Victorine Crystal Fabric as breathable and stretchy, so that you can move freely in the saddle.
