FAQs
Can I tumble dry these breeches?
It is recommended to air dry them to maintain the elasticity of the Creora fabric and prevent shrinking.
What is the primary material?
These breeches are crafted from a high-quality, 4-way stretch knitted cotton fabric.
Are they suitable for competition?
The classic design and flat front make them suitable for a variety of riding contexts, though check your specific discipline rules regarding color.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Washing inside out can help preserve the integrity of the knee strappings.
Do these have a zipper?
Yes, they feature a convenient outer zip hip pocket for essentials.
What does 'self-fabric contoured seat' mean?
It means the seat is made from the same material as the rest of the breeches, shaped to follow the contours of the body for a better fit while seated in the saddle.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel too tight during movement
Ensure the waist size is correct according to UK dress sizing and avoid tumble drying which may shrink the cotton fibers.
Visible wear on knee panels
Ensure you are using appropriate stirrup leathers and check for debris or rough surfaces on your saddle that could cause premature abrasion.
