Pikeur Jackets & Gilets

Pikeur gilets are a staple for a reason — they're warm enough for cold mornings, packable enough to stuff in a boot bag, and cut short enough that they don't interfere with your position in the saddle. The riding-specific cut is the thing: higher in the back, closer-fitting across the seat, no awkward bunching when you're sitting trot or rising to extended work.

The jacket range covers everything from lightweight technical schooling jackets to warmer insulated options for winter. Most run in the same EU sizing as the breeches — size up if you layer underneath. If you're building a coordinated Pikeur outfit, the gilets and jackets are designed to layer over the base layers and basics in the same collection.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What makes Pikeur gilets suitable for riding rather than general outdoor wear? +
      Pikeur gilets are cut specifically for the riding position — shorter in the front to avoid bunching when you're in the saddle, higher in the back to cover your lower back when leaning forward, and close-fitting around the seat so there's no extra bulk under your leg. General outdoor gilets are typically longer and looser, which doesn't work well when riding.
      How warm are Pikeur gilets? +
      Pikeur produce gilets across a range of warmth levels. Lighter thermal options are comfortable from around 8°C upwards for active riding. More insulated versions handle colder mornings well. The specific insulation type and intended temperature range is detailed in each product description.
      How do Pikeur jackets and gilets size? +
      EU sizing, same as the breeches. UK 10 ≈ 36, UK 12 ≈ 38, and so on. If you plan to layer a base layer or long-sleeve top underneath, size up. The gilets in particular run close-fitting, so allow room for layering if you ride through autumn and winter.
      Can Pikeur gilets be worn off the yard? +
      Yes — Pikeur gilets and jackets are popular both on and off the yard. The cut is slim and the quality is high enough that they don't look out of place beyond an equestrian context. The neutral colourways — navy, black, dark grey — double up well as everyday outerwear.
