Breathable Lightweight Shadbellies?

Who makes really breathable tailcoats for dressage? With some color choice? The older I get the less I tolerate heat!

Equiline

Have Jo McCracken at South East Sport Horses make one for you! You can pick lovely colors, custom fit, and even mesh under the arms.

The Romfh Bling Shadbelly is pretty lightweight and stretchy. Color choices are only Black or Navy, but they both have reversible paisley points which are fun.

I have an equiline short coat and love it, but the tailcoats are very expensive. I like the Romfh, but wonder how breathable they are. Will check out Jo McCracken!

I have a Grand Prix by Frantisi and had some custom things added. I love it, I will never go back to my wool Pikeur.

Equiline. Cheaper if you order from Europe.

Grand Prix! I have a short coat and two shads. They wash well and you can customize you collar and points. Contact Elizabeth from Top Hats & Under That is great, or Beth from The Horse of Course. I show in TN, GA, KY and FL and I am cooler in my coat than I am in short sleeves.

Jumping in on this, I am an eventer who will hopefully be doing her first FEI this summer. I am 6’ and have very long arms. Does anyone know of of any brands that have decently long arms? Thanks!

Checkout the FairPlay “Comfimesh” tailcoats - look great, but a nice open mesh up close!
