Italian Tailored Competition Wear and Riding Apparel

The range extends to breeches, show shirts, and accessories, all crafted with the attention to detail that Italian design is known for.
For Australian riders, For Horses offers a European aesthetic that stands out in the competition ring. The breeches range includes the Achille, Chico Grip, and Calamity Jeans — each designed with specific performance features from grip technology to denim-style styling.

Show Jackets and Tailcoats
Italian-tailored show jackets that combine traditional presentation with modern design.
Adelaide Short Tailcoat
The Adelaide Short Tailcoat is For Horses’ signature dressage jacket — a modern interpretation of the traditional tailcoat with a shorter back length for easier sitting. The tailored cut maintains formal presentation while the technical fabric provides comfort through extended dressage tests. A popular choice for Australian dressage riders.
Boheme and Other Show Jackets
For Horses offers multiple show jacket styles including the Boheme, Alice, and custom tailcoat options. Each jacket is tailored with Italian craftsmanship and features technical fabric that allows full shoulder rotation. Choose based on your discipline — tailcoats for dressage, shorter jackets for show jumping and showing.
Breeches and Riding Pants
Italian-designed breeches with grip technology and stretch fit for competition and everyday riding.
Achille and Chico Grip Breeches
The Achille breeches offer a classic fit with Italian leather detailing, while the Chico Grip adds grip technology for secure saddle contact. Both feature four-way stretch fabric that moves with the rider and retains shape through repeated competition use. Available in traditional competition colours.
Calamity Jeans and Leggings
The Calamity Jeans bring denim styling to riding breeches — a fashionable option for riders who want the look of jeans with the performance of breeches. The Junie Grip Leggings and Azumi Leggings offer lighter, more flexible options for schooling and everyday riding.
Show Shirts, Polos and Accessories
Competition shirts and accessories that complete the For Horses show-day look.
Show Shirts
For Horses show shirts include the Adriano, Alina, Aliyah, and Anna — each with technical fabric, elegant detailing, and tailored cuts. The shirts feature moisture-wicking material for comfort during competition and subtle styling details that set them apart from standard show shirts.
Polos, Vests and Accessories
The brand also produces polos and schooling shirts for everyday riding, plus vests like the Alter and Altera for layering. The crystal belt range — including the FH Crystal Belt and FH Dual Belt in adult and junior sizes — adds a finishing touch to competition turnout. Air jackets and technical outerwear complete the range.
Sizing and Fit Guide
For Horses uses European sizing throughout. Show jackets and tailcoats are sized by chest measurement — check the size chart on each product page. Breeches use standard European waist sizes. For Horses sizing tends to run true to European standards, which may differ from Australian sizing. When in doubt, consult the product-specific size chart or contact us for advice.
For Horses tailcoats should fit close to the body for their tailored silhouette. Breeches should be snug when new as the stretch fabric will relax with use. Show shirts should allow full shoulder rotation — raise your arms when trying on to ensure the shirt doesn’t restrict movement. For Australian riders new to European sizing, we recommend checking measurements carefully before ordering.
Care and Maintenance
For Horses technical fabrics should be machine washed on a gentle cycle in cool water. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Air dry — never tumble dry as heat damages technical fibres and grip silicone. Show jackets should be fastened before washing and stored on quality hangers in garment bags. Breeches should be washed inside-out to protect grip panels.
Tailcoats and structured show jackets may require professional dry cleaning to maintain their shape — check the care label before washing. Crystal belts should be wiped with a soft cloth and stored flat to prevent crystal damage. With proper care, For Horses competition wear should last multiple competition seasons.
