FAQs
Can I tumble dry these breeches?
No, you should not tumble dry these breeches as the heat will compromise the 4-way stretch properties of the fabric.
Are these breeches suitable for competition?
While they feature a professional flat-front design, they are primarily aimed at daily riding and schooling. Please check your specific competition rules regarding fabric types.
What is the material composition?
These breeches are made from a high-quality cotton blend featuring Creora 4-way stretch technology.
How should I clean the knee strappings?
The knee strappings are made of the same fabric as the rest of the breeches; simply follow the standard machine wash instructions at 30 degrees.
Can I iron the breeches to remove wrinkles?
No, you should not iron this garment, as the heat can permanently damage the synthetic components providing the stretch.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you are using the integrated belt loops to secure the waist correctly, or verify if the sizing matches your current measurements, as cotton fabric may tighten if washed in high-heat water.
Loss of fabric elasticity over time
Verify that you are not using bleach or tumble drying, as these are the primary causes for premature breakdown of 4-way stretch fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.
- Drying: Air dry only; do not place in a tumble dryer as heat can damage the stretch fibers.
