Master the heat of the summer competition season with a jacket designed to keep you cool under pressure while maintaining a flawless, professional silhouette. The Shires Aubrion Oxford combines elite-level athletic ventilation with the timeless elegance required for every discipline, from the dressage ring to the stadium course.

Engineered for the dedicated equestrian athlete, this technical show coat utilizes a high-performance 4-way stretch fabric that moves with your body over every fence. Unlike traditional heavy wool coats, the Oxford features a sophisticated hybrid design that integrates hidden airflow technology and moisture-wicking linings, ensuring you stay dry and focused when the stakes are high and the temperature rises.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Perforated Airflow Panels: Strategically placed along the sides and underarms to provide maximum breathability and cooling during high-intensity activity.
• Hidden Zip Fastening: A front zipper is cleverly concealed by a popper-button placket, offering a secure, "no-gap" fit with the classic look of a traditional button-down.
• Technical Stretch Fabric: Crafted from a high-performance blend of 78% Polyamide and 22% Spandex, allowing for total freedom of movement in the saddle.
• Slim, Tailored Silhouette: Features a modern, figure-hugging cut designed to follow the contours of the body for a professional, athletic appearance.
• Classic Equestrian Details: Includes a soft suede-feel collar trim, twin rear vents for a traditional drape over the saddle, and two front zip pockets with subtle silky trim.
• Moisture-Wicking Mesh Lining: The interior is finished with a contrast mesh lining that actively manages moisture to keep the rider cool and comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I select the correct size?
A: The Oxford is sized by chest measurement in inches (e.g., 32, 34, 36). Because it features a slim, sporty fit, we recommend measuring your chest while wearing your competition shirt; if you are between sizes or have broader shoulders, many riders find that sizing up provides the best fit.

Q: Is this jacket appropriate for all competition rings?
A: Yes. The matte black finish and subtle integration of technical features make it conservative enough for Dressage, Show Jumping, and Eventing, ensuring you meet traditional standards while enjoying modern performance benefits.

Q: What are the care instructions for this technical fabric?
A: To preserve the integrity of the structured panels and the suede-feel trim, this jacket is labeled as Dry Clean Only. This ensures the garment maintains its tailored shape and premium finish over many seasons of use.
