Shop Off Your Modern Style with Classic Designs

Essex Classics has been considered the finest riding shirt available for the English hunter/jumper rider for over 20 years. Using the most luxurious European designed fabrics, the Essex Professional show shirt is exquisitely tailored using over 24 stitches per inch to provide smooth seams. These fine shirts also feature an eight button front to prevent gapping, long shirt tails which stayed tucked, and two matching chokers.
What is hot for this year's show circuit? According to Cathy Sacher, founder and designer of the Essex Classic Show Shirt, white is by far the most popular color. Either plain white, or white with tone on tone designs and stripes. Classic white is back!
By and large, the wrap collar is replacing the traditional ratcatcher collar, and the prints on the inside cuff and inside collar add interest (and are a great way to personalize your classic white shirt!). Coolmax, originally incorporated by Essex Classics several years ago, is the fabric of choice for most riders.
Essex Classics remains the leading innovator of riding shirts "raising the standard of equestrian style."
