FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for competition?
Yes, the sophisticated design and professional silhouette make them appropriate for many riding disciplines.
What material are these made from?
They are crafted from a high-quality silk-blend fabric designed for comfort and durability.
How do I choose the right size?
These are sized according to UK dress sizes; refer to the manufacturer's size guide for measurements corresponding to the UK 24 size.
Does the silicone seat peel off?
When cared for according to the instructions, the silicone seat is highly durable and resistant to peeling.
Can I use these for barn chores?
While they are comfortable, we recommend wearing dedicated workwear for heavy barn chores to preserve the silk material.
Troubleshooting
Silicone seat losing grip
Wash the breeches inside out without fabric softener, as chemical build-up can make the silicone slippery.
Difficulty pulling on due to dry cuffs
Ensure your socks are pulled up flat against your skin before sliding the boot on to prevent the fabric from catching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your breeches maintain their performance and fit, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you select the correct UK size to allow for proper movement in the saddle. These breeches pair perfectly with standard tall boots due to their low-profile cuffs.
- Washing: Use a gentle cycle in cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the silicone grip and the delicate silk material.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the silicone seat patterns and shrink the fabric.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material breakdown.
