Dogwood London’s new collection of show jackets are a summer season must have for any style conscious rider. With a range of 3 show jackets, 3 traditionally styled tweeds and a short style dressage coat, they can be customised and tailored to your individual needs.

Made in England, the quality combined with intricate detailing of each garment is unsurpassed.  Each show jacket features 4 statement silver buttons on the front and along the cuffs of the sleeves.  They also feature some unique piping on the sleeve cuffs that match the collar colour of each jacket, a running theme throughout the season’s collection.  The Tweed jackets all feature traditional fox head buttons down the centre and sleeve cuffs.

The Grand Prix Competition Pro and Pirouette Pro jackets are two of the most sought after jackets on the modern market as they are lined with technical fabrics for improved performance. Breathable, extra movement and the ability to wick away sweat from the body makes them a perfect choice for any serious rider. The Pirouette Pro is a short style dressage jacket which mimics the traditional tailcoat but without the tails, giving a sportier, contemporary look which is great for dressage at levels where full tails are not compulsory.

There are two pinstripe style jackets in the collection which have been going down a storm in the show jumping fraternity.  The Grey Pencil Stripe jacket with half velvet collar and the Black Double Stripe show jacket are both stunning examples of the fashion forward look that show jumpers across the world demand in their equestrian clothing.  And to be sure everyone knows your riding in Dogwood, the Dogwood London logo is discreetly placed just above the left hand pocket of each jacket; a reminder to all you're riding in exclusive quality.

The Dogwood Tweed Jackets have the traditional beauty of tweed on their side; but with a Dogwood twist.  Shaped at the waist for a pretty, feminine fit, it is the combination of the tweed outer with a stunning inner lining that makes these jackets that bit different.  The lining colours range from a hot pink, in the pink with lilac Midhurst Tweed model to a vibrant red in the Petworth Tweed jacket.  An option of full velvet, half velvet or a fabric collar which matches the rest of the jacket, gives you the option to bespoke your Dogwood riding jackets to your hearts desire.

The jackets are available both online and in the Dogwood showroom, Strettington, Chichester.  They will also be showcased alongside the new range of casual clothing at the Hickstead Royal International Horse Show, in July.
