Pikeur Basics

Pikeur base layers and basics are the pieces you'll reach for at every yard session, even when the rest of the kit is from somewhere else. The long-sleeve base layers are moisture-wicking, warm enough for a chilly arena, and flat-seamed so they sit smoothly under breeches without adding bulk. Short-sleeve options work through spring and summer when you want a technical layer without the warmth.

Most Pikeur basics are designed to work with the wider seasonal collections — same colourways, same cut — so you can build a coordinated outfit or just use them as standalone pieces. Sizing in EU convention, same as the breeches. Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, no tumble dry, and they'll hold their shape season after season.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What are Pikeur base layers designed for? +
      Pikeur base layers are designed specifically for riding — flat-seamed so they don't create pressure points under breeches, moisture-wicking to keep you comfortable through a full schooling session, and cut to stay tucked rather than riding up when you're in the saddle. They are not repurposed gym wear.
      How should Pikeur base layers be sized? +
      EU sizing, same as the breeches. Most Pikeur base layers are designed to fit close to the body — that's what makes them work under competition and schooling jackets. If you prefer a slightly less fitted feel, size up. Check the product page for specific fit guidance.
      Can Pikeur base layers be worn as standalone tops? +
      The long-sleeve base layers work as standalone yard tops in mild weather, and the short-sleeve options are popular through spring and summer. They're not styled as outerwear but are well-made enough to wear independently without looking like a pure underlayer.
      How do I care for Pikeur base layers? +
      Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, no fabric softener, and hang or lay flat to dry. Fabric softener degrades the moisture-wicking properties, so it's worth skipping it entirely. With proper care the fabric maintains its performance through multiple seasons.
