Product Information
Full details
The Shires Aubrion Walton Breeches are designed for male equestrians who prioritize both professional aesthetics and functional performance in the saddle. These breeches offer a significant advantage through their contour seat and silicone knee patches, providing essential grip and stability during rides. While they offer excellent versatility for daily training or competition, users should be mindful that the traditional pleated front design requires specific sizing considerations for an optimal, comfortable fit.

FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for showing?
Yes, the classic pleat-front design provides a professional, traditional appearance appropriate for many equestrian disciplines.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these?
It is not recommended, as fabric softeners can leave a residue on the silicone knee patches, causing them to become slippery.
What is the primary material?
The breeches are made from a high-performance blend suitable for riding, though specific material composition can vary by batch.
How do the sizing options work?
They are sized based on UK men's waist measurements; it is best to measure your natural waist to select the correct size.
Do these have a high or low rise?
The classic pleat-front cut typically provides a medium-to-high rise compared to modern low-rise competition breeches.
Troubleshooting
Silicone patches losing grip
Wash the breeches using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the silicone and reduce its efficacy.
Waistband feels too tight or loose
Ensure you are using the integrated belt loops with an appropriately sized belt to adjust the fit around the waist.
Difficulty putting on boots over the cuffs
Ensure the stretch cuffs are pulled tight against the leg without any wrinkles or folds before sliding your boots on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shires Aubrion Walton Breeches, follow these guidelines:
- Fitment: Always consult a size chart before purchasing, as the pleat-front design can fit differently than contemporary low-rise stretch breeches. Ensure the waistband sits comfortably at the natural waist.
- Washing: Turn the breeches inside out before washing to protect the silicone patches. Use a mild detergent and a gentle cycle with cool water.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying at high temperatures, as this can degrade the elasticity and damage the silicone grip. Always air dry away from direct sunlight.
- Compatibility: These are designed to be worn with standard English riding boots or chaps, with the stretch lower leg cuffs sitting snugly against the calf.
