FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for competition?
While the design is professional, ensure your specific discipline permits beige breeches before wearing them in a competition ring.
How do I determine my correct size?
Measure your waist at the narrowest point and compare it to the available sizing options (e.g., 30" waist) to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is generally advised to avoid tumble drying to prevent heat damage to the stretch fabric and knee patches.
Does the zipper pocket keep items secure?
Yes, the outer zip pocket is designed to hold small, lightweight items securely while riding.
Are these breeches season-specific?
The fabric weight is suitable for most moderate seasons, though riders in extreme winter climates may need a base layer underneath.
Will the knee patches provide enough grip?
The self-fabric knee patches are designed to provide a standard level of grip, which is suitable for general flatwork and hacking.
Troubleshooting
Fabric losing shape after multiple washes
Avoid high heat in the dryer and stick to air drying to preserve the elastic Creora fibers.
Stains appearing on the beige fabric
Pre-treat stains with a gentle stain remover immediately after riding and wash separately from dark-colored items.
Breeches feel too loose at the waist
Utilize a sturdy leather or elastic belt through the provided belt loops to achieve a more secure, tailored fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shires Saddlehugger Breeches, always follow the care label instructions. It is recommended to wash these breeches in cool water using a mild detergent, preferably inside out to protect the outer fabric finish. Avoid using heavy bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the elastic properties of the Creora fibers. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the knee patches and the stretch of the fabric. The breeches are compatible with most standard riding footwear, including jodhpur boots with half-chaps or tall leather riding boots.
