FAQs
Can I tumble dry these breeches?
No, you must not tumble dry the Shires Saddlehugger Breeches, as the heat will damage the 4-way stretch fabric.
Are these breeches suitable for competition?
Yes, the flat-front design and professional appearance make them suitable for a wide range of riding activities and competitions.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Do not use bleach, and avoid ironing or tumble drying.
Do these come with knee grips?
They feature self-fabric knee strappings to provide reinforcement and better grip while in the saddle.
What material are they made from?
They are constructed from a blend of cotton and Creora 4-way stretch knitted fabric for maximum comfort.
Troubleshooting
Fabric losing elasticity over time
Ensure you are not using high-heat cycles when washing and never expose the breeches to tumble drying or ironing, which damage stretch fibers.
Leg fastenings coming loose
Check the touch-close (Velcro) fasteners for debris or horse hair buildup. Gently clean the hooks with a small brush to restore adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK waist size to take full advantage of the 4-way stretch properties. These breeches are compatible with most standard equestrian footwear. To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the elasticity of the stretch material, follow these care instructions strictly: Machine wash at a cool 30 degrees Celsius. Do not use bleach, as this will damage the cotton fibers. Crucially, allow the garment to drip dry naturally; do not place it in a tumble dryer or use an iron, as high heat will degrade the specialized stretch properties of the fabric.
