FAQs
Are these jodhpurs suitable for competition?
Their sleek, flat-front design makes them suitable for daily training and schooling, though check your specific competition rulebook for color and style requirements.
What does Creora fabric offer?
Creora is a high-performance stretch fiber that provides consistent elasticity, allowing the fabric to stretch and recover its shape throughout your ride.
Should I tumble dry them?
No, it is recommended to air dry them to preserve the integrity of the elastic fibers in the cotton blend.
Do these come in different waist sizes?
Yes, they are available in a variety of UK men's waist sizes ranging from 30 to 42.
Are they water-resistant?
These jodhpurs are made from cotton-blend fabric and are not intended to be waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels restrictive during movement
Ensure the waistband is properly positioned and that the size is correct; if the size is too small, it can negate the benefit of the stretch fabric.
Knee area showing premature wear
Check your saddle fit and leg position; consistent rubbing against stirrup leathers may accelerate wear, even on reinforced patches.
Stains not coming out in the wash
Pre-treat the specific area with a mild stain remover before placing the jodhpurs in the 30-degree wash cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Shires Saddlehugger Jodhpurs last, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Use a measuring tape to find your waist measurement in inches to match the UK sizing provided. Ensure the fit is snug but allows for full movement.
- Compatibility: These are designed to be worn with standard riding boots or half chaps. The slim-cut leg ensures they fit comfortably inside tall boots.
- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius. Do not use harsh bleaching agents.
- Drying: Air dry naturally. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the stretch fibers and cause the fabric to lose its shape.
