Product Information
Full details
The Shires Saddlehugger Jodhpurs are designed for male riders seeking a balance of comfort, flexibility, and classic style during equestrian activities. Featuring advanced Creora 4-way stretch knitted fabric, these jodhpurs move with the body to ensure optimal performance in the saddle; however, riders should note they are primarily cotton-based, which may require more frequent drying time compared to specialized synthetic-heavy technical fabrics.

FAQs
What is the primary material used?
The jodhpurs are made from a cotton blend featuring Creora 4-way stretch knitted fabric.
Are these suitable for competition?
The clean flat-front design is appropriate for many schooling and low-level competitive environments, though check your specific rulebook regarding color requirements.
Do they provide extra grip in the saddle?
Yes, they feature self-fabric knee strappings which add a layer of reinforcement and grip at the contact point.
Can I wear a belt with these?
Yes, they come equipped with practical belt loops for a customized fit.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash with mild detergent and air dry to maintain the integrity of the stretch fabric.
Troubleshooting
Jodhpurs feel loose after repeated wear
Wash and dry the garment according to instructions to help the fabric fibers contract and regain their original shape.
Fabric appears to have lost some elasticity
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and negatively impact the performance of the stretch material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Shires Saddlehugger Jodhpurs last, always refer to the garment tag for specific washing instructions. Generally, it is best to machine wash in cold or warm water with a mild detergent. Avoid heavy bleaching agents, as these can degrade the elasticity of the Creora fabric. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and prevent potential shrinkage associated with high-heat tumble drying. These jodhpurs are compatible with most standard equestrian footwear, including jodhpur boots, paddock boots, and half chaps.
