FAQs
What makes these breeches 'Pro' compared to other Freya styles?
The 'Pro' designation typically indicates enhanced features or materials, such as the updated full seat silicone grip and the addition of Lurex piping for a more premium finish, building on the original Freya design.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The breeches should fit snugly but comfortably, offering support without restriction. The high waist should sit comfortably without digging in, and the full seat grip should provide consistent contact without feeling overly tight.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
No, it is recommended to use only non-organic detergents. Organic detergents or fabric softeners can negatively affect the silicone grip and the fabric's properties.
Why should I avoid tumble drying?
Tumble drying can damage the fabric fibers, degrade the silicone grip, and potentially cause shrinkage or warping. Air drying preserves the integrity and performance of the breeches.
Are the Lurex piping details itchy?
The Lurex piping is designed to be a subtle decorative element and is typically incorporated in a way that does not cause irritation. They are placed around the pocket edges for a refined look.
What is the benefit of the tapered lower leg?
A tapered lower leg ensures a smooth and streamlined fit within riding boots, preventing bunching or discomfort and contributing to a clean aesthetic.
How often should I wash my breeches?
Wash your breeches as needed after wear, following the care instructions. Frequent washing with correct procedures will help maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The four-way stretch offers flexibility, but proper sizing is key for comfort and performance.
Silicone grip is less effective after washing.
Ensure you are following the specific care instructions, particularly regarding detergent type and avoiding fabric softeners, which can impact grip. Always air dry.
Pilling or wear on the fabric.
Check for any rough surfaces in the stable or tack that might be causing friction. Ensure correct washing procedures are followed, as harsh washing can accelerate wear.
