FAQs
Is the HKM Eloise jacket machine washable?
While the fabric is stain-resistant, it is recommended to follow the specific garment label instructions, typically suggesting gentle machine washing with like colors.
What does the rose gold hardware require for cleaning?
Wipe the buttons and decorative seams gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain their shine and prevent tarnish.
Does the jacket stretch?
The fabric is designed for a tailored fit with slight elasticity to allow for the freedom of movement required in equestrian sports.
Can I wear this in summer competitions?
Yes, the fabric is breathable, making it suitable for moderate to warm competition weather.
What size should I choose if I am between sizes?
Because the Eloise is a tailored cut, if you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to size up to ensure full range of motion while riding.
Does the jacket come with a garment bag?
The jacket does not typically include a garment bag; it is recommended to use a standard breathable garment bag for transport.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or sticks during use
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and gently run a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to lubricate the zipper.
Jacket appears slightly wrinkled after long-term storage
Hang the jacket in a steamy bathroom for 10-15 minutes or use a low-heat garment steamer from a safe distance.
Button placket appears loose
Check if the internal zipper is fully engaged; the buttons are decorative and the zipper provides the structural closure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HKM Eloise jacket remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Spot clean minor dirt with a damp cloth due to the stain-resistant nature of the fabric. Always check the internal garment tag for specific machine washing instructions if necessary.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a structured, wide-shoulder hanger to maintain the shape of the tailored cut.
- Compatibility: The jacket is designed for standard equestrian competition attire and pairs well with traditional white or beige riding breeches and a technical show shirt.
- Sizing: Ensure you consult the size chart carefully; the 'S' size is a tailored adult fit. If you prefer to wear a thicker base layer, ensure the jacket allows for appropriate range of motion in the shoulders.
