Available Now ! Fall Winter 2014/2015 Equiline Collection

Here is a sneak peak at the latest offering from Equiline. The “Dress Code” for Fall/Winter 2014/2015 is inspiring, making full use of the season’s colors. Add to that, the innovative use of fabrics and styling shows why Equiline is enjoying the top spot among all riding apparel brands.

Equiline’s designs are clean and modern. There is also a move towards the “less is more” philosophy. So, let us get started.

Full Seat Breeches for Dressage

Georgia Full Seat Breeches by Equiline

Equiline has always been the leading innovator. They have taken bold steps to further the riding clothing industry. You can see how these breeches have no seams around the patch. It is specially constructed from Silicone for better grip. Notice also the special fabric inserted in the breeches. This stretch fabric allows full freedom of movement for the rider. It also adds a beautiful contrast tone to the riding pants. Quite innovative, we think. What do you think?

Ladies Show Jacket

Olivia Show Jumping Jacket by Equiline

This is a beautiful jacket with a focus on modern styling and fabrics. Notice how the buttons are not black colored. Also the 2 zipper pockets on the sides. The best part of the jacket is in the collar. The trims along the front collar are fantastic and add an element of elegance!

Show Jacket for Ladies (Dressage and Show Jumping)

Here is a jacket that can be used for both dressage and show jumping.

Gilda Competition Show Jacket – Front View in Black by Equiline. Also available in Gray color.

Once again, its the small details that count the most. For instance, the “mother of pearls” buttons on this jacket are not only eye-catching, they elevate this jacket head over shoulders. The cut is traditional. This one can be used by either dressage riders or show jumpers.

 

Limited Edition Dressage Shadbelly

Grazia Dressage Shadbelly by Equiline

 

This shadbelly continues from where the Gilda Competition Jacket left off from. The “mother of pearls” buttons are adorned on both the collar and points of the shad. Clean design and very inspiring, do you agree?

 Show Shirt for Ladies

Rosy Show Shirt from Equiline – Also available in White

Back View of Rosy Show Shirt by Equiline

This gorgeous show shirt has laser embroidery on the front and back. The signature Equiline horses and Equiline logo are embroidered. The logo itself is surrounded by shiny crystals. This makes a very beautiful show shirt. Quite frankly speaking, this is the most stunning show shirt ever. What do you think?

These shirts are popular primarily because they address a number of issues that riders face:

Riding Shirts with UV Protection – New at WEF

While there is no dearth of riding shirts, one particular style of riding shirts has emerged as the clear front runner. Whether you like the Wellington Collection Extreme Air Shirt or the Bette and Court Swing Shirt or the EIS Swing Shirt, they are all slights variations on the same basic style. The riding shirts are made from light weight fabric. The shirts all feature the signature mesh on the underside of the arms. This feature aids primarily in the airflow to reduce perspiration.  Also, all these shirts have built-in UV protection.

When one style of shirts becomes so dominant that you see virtually rider wear it, it is time for change. Not that there is anything wrong with these shirts, but as they say, there is always room for improvement.  And that is exactly what Kastel did.

Two-Tone Performance Riding Shirt by Kastel Denmark

The shirt (and in fact the entire Kastel brand) is the brain-child of famous dressage rider, Charlotte Jorst. In addition to being a busy dressage competitor, Charlotte has managed to juggle other successful ventures. Her latest is Kastel Denmark.  According to Charlotte, these shirts are great for anyone that spends time outdoors. The shirts offer all the protection that of the above mentioned shirts, but have a very distinguishing edge. That edge comes from the fabric being quite a bit lighter. When you are riding (or any outdoor sports for that matter), the lighter the shirt, the better your ability to move.

The Kastel shirt comes in very attractive color schemes. The two tone design of the shirt is eye-catching and refreshing in a sea of solid colored shirts. The different colors options and trims are a welcome change to the white and beige colors we are used to seeing on the showgrounds. The shirt sizing is a bit on the smaller size. That applies mostly to the Small Size shirt.

The Kastel shirts also addressed an important problem that the other brands did not. The wrist band sleeve is now elastic on the Kastel shirts. This means that it ill not get in the way when gripping the reins or any wrist movement. This small change is a fantastic idea.

All in all, this shirt has been a hit at Wellington WEF so far in the pre-season. Here are a few pictures of the shirts.

Solid Black

The different color of the zipper contrasts beautifully

Another new color, a sky blue with white trim and mesh.

A new color, Gray with Pink.

Bright poppy color

The elastic wrist sleeve band is extremely useful!

The shirt is priced at the very attractive price of $75. Stop by the TACKNRIDER WEF Trailer or the TACKNRIDER store in Wellington, or order online at the TACKNRIDER website.
