FAQs
Are these jodhpurs suitable for competition?
Their classic design and professional flat front make them versatile enough for schooling and casual competitions, though you should check specific club regulations.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these?
It is generally recommended to avoid heavy fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the stretch properties of the Creora fabric.
What is the primary material used?
The jodhpurs are made from a cotton blend featuring Creora 4-way stretch technology for enhanced flexibility.
Do they provide a secure fit at the waist?
Yes, they feature integrated belt loops, allowing you to use a belt for a secure and customized fit around the waist.
Can I tumble dry these if I use a low heat setting?
No. The manufacturer strictly advises against tumble drying to prevent damage to the stretch fabric.
Troubleshooting
Fabric losing elasticity after multiple washes.
Ensure you are washing at 30 degrees or cooler and avoiding the tumble dryer, which damages the elastane fibers.
Visible wear on knee patches.
While self-fabric knee strappings are durable, excessive friction can cause wear. Ensure your saddle leathers are clean to reduce abrasive dirt buildup.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-stretch material allows for unrestricted movement.
- Reinforced knee areas increase durability.
- Classic design suitable for everyday riding or training.
- Breathable cotton blend provides comfort in various climates.
Cons
- Strict care requirements (no tumble dry or ironing).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your waist size before ordering, as these come in specific UK sizing. They are highly compatible with most tall riding boots and chaps. Regarding care, follow these protocols to extend the life of your garment:
- Machine wash only at 30 degrees Celsius.
- Do not use a tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the elasticity of the fabric.
- Do not bleach, as this will damage the fibers and color.
- Do not iron, as extreme heat may damage the stretch components of the material.
