Show shirts and sun shirts get worn hard for a short season and then replaced, which is why so many come through here with plenty of life left. Technical fabrics, mesh panels and UV protection have moved on quickly in recent years, and riders upgrade long before the previous shirt has given up. This collection covers competition show shirts with collars and snaps, long sleeve sun shirts for summer schooling, polos and everyday barn tops, in children’s and adult sizing. Sellers list chest and sleeve measurements alongside the manufacturer size, and describe fabric condition, pilling and any staining at the collar or underarm, where these shirts show wear first. Photographs are of the actual garment. If you compete, buying show shirts second season is one of the easiest savings to make, since a shirt worn for six weekends is effectively indistinguishable from one straight off the rail, and the saving on a single shirt often covers an entry fee.
