FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for competition?
While highly professional in appearance, they are primarily designed for training and schooling. Check your specific discipline's rulebook regarding denim-style fabrics before competing.
Do the silicone grips leave marks on the saddle?
When cared for properly, they do not leave residue. Ensure your saddle is cleaned regularly to prevent any interaction between the leather and the silicone.
How do I measure for the correct size?
Measure your waist at the narrowest point and consult the Shires sizing chart, ensuring you account for the structured nature of the denim fabric.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, machine drying can damage the silicone grip and may lead to fabric shrinkage. Always air dry.
Do these have a high or low rise?
They feature a standard, professional rise designed to stay in place securely while in the saddle without being overly restrictive.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip losing tackiness
Wash the breeches inside out to remove dust and debris buildup from the silicone pattern.
Difficulty pulling up over calves
Ensure the ankle cuff is fully straightened; if resistance persists, verify you are using a smooth-lining sock to help glide the foot through.
Waistband feels too tight
Check that the belt is not over-tightened; if the fit is consistently tight, consider moving up one size for better comfort in the saddle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best longevity from your Aubrion Northwick Breeches, proper maintenance is essential. Always fasten the waist button and ensure all zippers are closed before placing them in the washing machine to prevent snagging.
- Washing: Use a cool wash cycle (30°C) with a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the silicone grip properties over time.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can cause the silicone print to peel or the fabric to shrink.
- Compatibility: The slim ankle design is optimized for standard field boots, dressage boots, and gaiters. Ensure your belt is of a standard equestrian width to fit the loops comfortably.
