Featuring a sophisticated silk-blend construction, these breeches provide a superior fit with silicone knee patches for enhanced grip and stretch lower leg cuffs for ease of movement under boots. While they offer premium comfort and a structured aesthetic, users should note that the silk material requires specific care to maintain its integrity and performance properties over time.

FAQs
Can these breeches be tumble dried?
No, tumble drying is not recommended as the heat will damage both the silk fibers and the silicone knee patches.
Are these breeches suitable for competition?
Yes, their sophisticated pleat-front design and professional appearance make them suitable for a variety of equestrian disciplines.
How should I measure my waist for these breeches?
Measure around your natural waistline at the point where you would normally wear a belt, ensuring the tape is snug but not tight.
Do the zip pockets hold a large smartphone?
The zip pockets are designed for small, flat essentials like keys or competition cards; they are generally not sized for large modern smartphones.
Is the material waterproof?
No, these breeches are not waterproof and are designed primarily for comfort and grip rather than heavy weather protection.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip losing effectiveness
Clean the silicone patches with mild soapy water and a soft cloth to remove dirt and equestrian dust.
Fabric looks dull after washing
Ensure you are using a dedicated silk detergent; avoid harsh bleaches or biological powders which damage natural fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shires Aubrion Walton Breeches, it is essential to follow correct maintenance procedures. Because the fabric contains silk, we recommend hand washing or using a delicate machine cycle with a specialized silk-friendly detergent. Always air dry the breeches away from direct heat sources to prevent material shrinkage or damage to the silicone grip. For compatibility, these breeches pair best with standard English tall boots or half-chaps, as the lower leg cuffs are designed to minimize friction. Regularly check the silicone patches for debris or dust buildup to maintain optimal grip levels.
