Cavalleria Toscana Sweaters & Hoodies
This is the part of the CT range that gets worn hardest. Sweaters and hoodies do the unglamorous work, layering under a jacket on a cold morning, going straight from the yard into the car, holding up through a season of being pulled on and off, and Cavalleria Toscana builds them to survive that while still looking like something you'd wear off the yard.
The collection spans lightweight technical knits designed as a riding layer, with stretch through the body and shoulder and a close cut that sits cleanly under a jacket or bodywarmer, alongside heavier cotton-blend sweatshirts and hoodies cut more generously for warmth and everyday wear. Detailing is the brand's usual restraint: tonal logo work, contrast trims at the cuff or hood, and the occasional bolder graphic piece for those who want it. Ribbed hems and cuffs hold their shape rather than stretching out after a few washes.
Colours cover the year-round black, navy and grey along with the seasonal shades released each collection, in ladies' and men's fits and a full size range. Whether you're after a slim technical layer for schooling in the cold or a hoodie that earns its place well beyond the arena, the complete Cavalleria Toscana range is here, with full size charts and specifications on every product page.
Frequently Asked Questions about CT Sweaters & Hoodies
How do Cavalleria Toscana sweaters and hoodies fit?
CT uses Italian sizing, which runs slimmer than European equivalents. Technical riding knits are cut close by design, that's intentional, so they layer under a jacket without bulk. Casual hoodies and sweatshirts are more relaxed. If you want room for a base layer underneath, or prefer an oversized look, size up.
Can you wear a hoodie for riding?
For schooling, absolutely, and plenty of riders do. Two things worth knowing: a loose hood can catch the wind and flap, which some horses object to, and bulky sweatshirts restrict the shoulder more than a technical knit. For competition warm-up, a slim riding layer is the better choice.
What's the difference between the technical knits and the cotton sweatshirts?
The technical pieces use stretch synthetic blends that wick sweat, dry quickly and hold a close shape, built to be ridden in. The cotton-blend sweatshirts and hoodies are heavier, softer and warmer, better suited to yard work and everyday wear than to schooling in.
Are they warm enough for winter riding?
As a mid-layer, yes. Most riders wear a technical knit over a base layer with a bodywarmer or jacket on top, which handles a winter comfortably. A hoodie alone won't block wind or rain.
How do I wash a Cavalleria Toscana sweater?
Cool machine wash on a gentle cycle, inside out to protect any printed or embroidered detailing, with no fabric softener. Air dry flat where possible rather than tumble drying, heat is what shrinks cotton blends and slackens ribbed cuffs.
