"This show coat fits true to size for me....its comfortable, looks attractive on, has a nice stretch to it across the shoulders and seems to be made well. For my level of showing this will work nicely."

"I'm so excited to find a coat that offers the smallest sizes in a tall! I have extremely long arms and the 0/Long fits great. I wish the buttons were a bit more substantial, but I really have no complaints at the price."

"Very nice looking coat. I will have to get it tailored more in the waist. But the shoulders fit perfect! It looks great on too."

"I wore my new Piaffe Show Coat in my first Dressage Show. It was very comfortable and I received a lot of positive comments on how great it looked. I like the tailored look and fit and the price was right. I will stick with the RJ Classics line of show apparel for me and my daughter."

"Very nice dressage coat. I took measurements and ordered a size 10L. The sizing runs about a size bigger; so it would fit a size 12, but it IS long enough. I'll just take it in at the bust and waist which I planned on anyway."

"I'm 5'10, 135 lbs. ordered a 6. It was plenty long, but pretty bulky in the bust and waist. I'm generally between a 4 and a 6 in street clothes. Ordered a 4 and it is perfect. Nice fabric. Looks great. Can't comment on durability, but coat seems well made."

"Love the overall quality and style of this show coat. Very tailored and a more true fit than others. My old coat was an 8 reg, smallest size it came in. I followed the measurement chart and ordered a 4 to be safe. Had to return it and get a 2 which is what I wear in all of my street jackets. This coat looks really nice on and gives me a lot of flexibility in the saddle through my shoulders. Absolutely love the quality and style for the cost."

"For the price, this coat is not bad, I have no complaints. It runs a tad big compared to other show coats, but I find that most riding gear is sized small compared to most "everyday" clothing. I am pleased with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone who shows periodically and is on a budget."

"I liked everything about this coat but it was too large. I have ordered it in a size smaller which was on backorder and has yet to arrive. I hope it fits!"

"Don't let the price get you to thinking this is a low-end coat. I'm a professional FEI rider and this is my short coat of choice. I abuse the heck out if it, multiple horses a day, multiple shows a year, and it keeps on kickin'. Lightweight and very classy, and generous in the length of sleeve."

"I was pleasantly surprised at how great the fit was on this jacket, Its super light and the stitching is of good quality, the material is refined. A first jacket at a great price. Be sure to measure chest and waist as it fits exactly. I had to take the sleeves up and take the shoulders in slightly, goes with the territory of buying a jacket off the rack and being rather endowed in the chest department. :=}"

"I just ordered this jacket, and I really like the look. Make sure when you order this coat you follow the sizing chart! With my Ariat jacket being a 12L, I assumed that this jacket would size the same, and I ordered a 10L, which was way too big. I then ordered the 4L, which fits perfect. The coat is nice and long for those who need long coats, and it looks great!"

"I needed a coat for a show and tried on several at local shops. They were all very expensive so I selected this coat and hoped it would arrive in time and be satisfactory. I was amazed at the timeliness in which it arrived and the quality matched the $400 coats I had tried on. The fit is excellent. I wore it on a cold and windy day and felt very comfortable."

"For the price, this is a good coat, and I like the waist. The sizing guide is accurate. The outside pockets aren't "real," so you'll be stuffing your gloves in the waistband of your breeches. However, this jacket is suitable for the dressage court, and the judge isn't scoring your coat anyway."
