Product Information
Full details
The Shires Aubrion Walton Breeches are designed for the adult male equestrian seeking a blend of classic style and modern performance. These breeches provide a secure, comfortable fit during long rides thanks to the contour seat and silicone knee patches, though the delicate silk material requires careful handling and maintenance compared to standard heavy-duty synthetic riding wear.

FAQs
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, but use a delicate cycle and a protective garment bag to protect the silk material.
Are these breeches suitable for daily stable work?
While durable, the silk construction is better suited for riding and competition rather than strenuous barn chores.
What is the primary benefit of the silicone knee patches?
They provide superior grip and security in the saddle compared to traditional fabric patches.
Do these breeches come with a belt?
No, they feature standard belt loops but do not include a belt.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, they feature zip closures to keep small essentials like keys or treats secure while riding.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place and hang them on a smooth-surfaced hanger to prevent creasing the silk.
Troubleshooting
Silicone patches losing grip
Ensure the patches are free of dirt and stable debris by wiping them down with a damp cloth; avoid heavy scrubbing.
Difficulty putting on due to cuffs
Ensure your socks are pulled smooth under the cuffs to prevent friction when sliding into tall boots.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality aesthetic finish with premium silk material
- Enhanced grip via silicone knee patches
- Streamlined lower leg design fits perfectly under riding boots
- Sophisticated pleated front for a professional look
- Secure storage with zip hip pockets
Cons
- Requires delicate care due to silk construction
- Limited to adult sizing
- Less abrasion resistance than synthetic technical fabrics
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal fit, utilize the integrated belt loops to ensure the breeches sit securely at your waist throughout your ride. When pairing with footwear, ensure your long boots are correctly fitted so the stretch cuffs can lay flat.
Care Instructions
Given the delicate nature of the silk material, it is highly recommended to hand wash or use a gentle, low-temperature cycle in a laundry bag. Avoid heavy detergents or bleach, which can damage the natural fibers. Air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the elasticity of the fabric and the integrity of the silicone knee patches.
