If you are looking for jockey silks for sale in Australia, start with one simple question: what do you need for race day?

Most owners, trainers and syndicates need a custom jacket with a matching cap. You can choose a traditional-looking Silk set, a stretchier Skintex set, or add matching horse blinkers. This guide explains the choices, current prices and ordering process in plain language.

Start Here: What Do You Need?

If you are unsure, begin with the Jockey & Race Colours range or contact Mittys before ordering. The team can help you choose the correct product without making the process complicated.

Silk or Skintex: Which Should You Choose?

Still unsure? Choose Silk if you prefer the familiar satin appearance of traditional racing colours. Choose Skintex if you want a stretchier, quick-drying performance garment.

Both fabrics can reproduce custom racing colours, patterns and approved artwork. For important colour matching, provide approved artwork, a Pantone reference, an existing garment or previous Mittys order details. Screen colours can vary, so speak with the team when an exact reference is important.

Race-Ready Silks or Costume Silks?

Searches for racing silks for sale often show costumes, vintage garments, memorabilia and second-hand silks alongside genuine racing products.

For official use, buy custom jockey silks made to reproduce the colours approved for the owner or racing entity. A second-hand set may belong to another registration or may be the wrong size, fabric or condition.

Before You Order: Registration Comes First

Mittys manufactures racing colours, but the relevant racing authority decides whether a design can be registered and used in official racing.

Registration is completed directly with the applicable authority. Mittys does not submit or approve registrations for customers. Read the Jockey Colours Registration Guide for the correct authority links. If you are developing a new design, see how to check whether racing colours are already registered.
