buck, though, has to be the new Ariat Pro series show shirts. The
“Triumph” is exactly that. With a show jacket on, the view is that of
a very traditional show shirt with a nice quality woven fabric wrap
collar, front panel and cuffs. Princess seams give it a tailored fit
and separate the woven fabric from a very lightweight stretchy
fabric that is both comfortable
and moisture wicking. A snap
closure front covered by a
placket gives the shirt an
elegant look and a loop on
the back of the collar for a
stock tie shows that someone
was really thinking when they
designed this shirt.

rather than snaps. Not only
does this make the print lined
collar look prettier when it is
opened, but it also makes it
easier to close when wearing
riding gloves.
Cindy Hadfield of C.M
Hadfield’s Saddlery also
offers the wrap collar show
shirt but her collars at a bit
more than 2” in width offer the
ultimate in elegance. Cindy
was the first to introduce
shirts with contrasting collars
and cuff linings, and she has
designed her wrap collars
with a 90 degree angle cut
rather than 45 degree so
that the collar has a better
look when it is left open.
Cindy’s own line of Cynthia
Munro shirts, which she
designed with input from
customers, offers a wide
array of fabrics from which
to choose. From traditional
all cotton for a crisp tailored
look as well as silk weaves to
Cindy’s latest design, the form-
fitting “Sunblocker” competition
shirt which offers cool comfort
in a silky, stretch microfiber
with mesh arm panels, stand-
up collar and quarter-zip neck,
Cindy has an extensive line of
ready to wear show shirts as
well the option to custom design
your own, or have one made-
to-measure. Cindy still offers
shirts with a separate collar
which can be embroidered with
your monogram and for the
real stylists, shirts which allow
for use of cufflinks. If you can
describe it, Cindy can make it
for you!
