Pikeur Basics

Read more Read less

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.
