Samshield® Women's Frac Premium Shadbelly FW26 — The Ultimate Competition Shadbelly
There is a coat you wear when you simply want to compete. And then there is the Frac Premium — Samshield's definitive statement on what a competition tailcoat can be. Designed for high-level dressage, the Frac Premium is built on a foundation of breathable, high-stretch Italian nylon-elasthane fabric (73% Nylon, 27% Elasthane) that moves with precision and performs in any ring, any season. A mesh interior lining keeps air circulating throughout your test, so the coat works as hard as you do from entry to final halt. The silhouette is long, fitted, and unmistakably competition-ready — every seam finished with the care that defines Samshield at its best.
What sets the Premium apart from every other shadbelly is the restraint and intention of its Swarovski® crystal embellishment. Rather than a diffuse all-over effect, the FW26 deploys a three-tiered crystal treatment — Ultra Fine Rock crystals along the collar edge, Swarovski crystal accents at the back waist, and a signature Swarovski blazon at the shoulder — creating a precise architecture of light that catches the eye of any judge at any level. A concealed front zipper ensures a clean button-front aesthetic, while equestrian-specific buttons complete a silhouette that is polished from every angle. This is a coat built for riders who know exactly what they want when they enter the ring, it delivers technical excellence and understated brilliance in equal measure.
