SHOW-RING ELEGANCE Designed with meticulous attention to detail for a flawless presentation under the judge's eye. • TAILORED SHOW CUT: Specifically designed to sit perfectly under a show saddle, complementing the horse's topline. • DURABLE BRASS FITTINGS: Solid brass buckles and hardware that resist corrosion and add a touch of classic brilliance. • REINFORCED SEAM CONSTRUCTION: Key stress points are double-stitched for durability that withstands daily use.

PREMIUM MATERIALS & FINISHING Every element is selected to uphold the highest standards of quality and tradition. • HERITAGE-GRADE WOOL: Sourced from specialist mills for a consistent, high-density weave that resists pilling. • SILK-SATIN LINING: A luxurious, smooth lining protects the coat from friction and allows for easy placement and removal. • HAND-FINISHED EDGES: Bound edges with contrasting piping provide a clean, traditional look and extended lifespan.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

CRAFTSMANSHIP & CONSTRUCTION

TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES FOR MODERN CHAMPIONS Built to the legacy standards of fine equestrian apparel. • PATTERN-MATCHED CONSTRUCTION: The blanket is cut and sewn to ensure the grain of the wool flows correctly for optimal drape. • DOUBLE-STITCHED SEAMS: Provides exceptional strength at all stress points, from the chest to the leg straps. • EXPERT BUCKLE PLACEMENT: Brass dees and buckles are positioned for a secure, gap-free fit that enhances the horse's shoulder.
