FAQs
Can I tumble dry these jodhpurs?
No, you should never tumble dry them as the heat will damage the 4-way stretch fibers.
Are these suitable for formal competitions?
The flat front design is professional, but please check your specific discipline rules regarding color and material requirements.
What does the waist size represent?
The size corresponds to the standard UK men's waist measurement in inches.
Do these come with reinforced knees?
Yes, they feature durable self-fabric knee strappings for added protection and grip.
Can I iron the jodhpurs to remove wrinkles?
No, ironing is not recommended as it can compromise the integrity of the synthetic stretch fabric.
Is the fabric breathable?
The knitted cotton construction offers natural breathability suitable for regular riding activities.
Troubleshooting
Fabric losing elasticity over time
Ensure you are not using high-heat laundry cycles or tumble drying, as heat degrades the stretch properties.
Visible wear on knees
While the self-fabric knee strappings are durable, ensure the saddle surface is clean to prevent abrasive debris from wearing down the fabric prematurely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shires Saddlehugger Jodhpurs, follow these maintenance protocols:
- Washing: Machine wash at a temperature no higher than 30 degrees Celsius.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Always allow the garment to air dry naturally to preserve the integrity of the stretch fibers.
