Full details

FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for jumping?
While the silicone seat offers excellent grip, these breeches are primarily designed with dressage in mind. For jumping, you might prefer breeches with a different grip pattern or material more suited to the dynamic movements involved.
How do I know my correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by the manufacturer, which typically aligns with UK dress sizes. It's recommended to measure yourself to ensure the best fit.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, it is strongly advised not to use fabric softener as it can degrade the silicone grip and potentially damage the fabric.
What is the benefit of the fine-knit sock leg?
The fine-knit sock leg is designed to reduce bulk under tall boots or half chaps, allowing for a closer, more comfortable fit between your lower leg and the horse.
Do the faux pockets offer any storage?
No, the pockets are decorative and do not offer any storage space. They are designed to maintain a sleek silhouette.
How should I care for the silk material?
The breeches are made from a silk blend and should be machine washed at 30 degrees, inside out, with a gentle detergent. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
What colours are available?
These breeches are available in colours such as Blue and White, with variations in the exact shade like Navy also possible.
Troubleshooting
Breeches feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the sizing chart. If the fit is still an issue, consider if the style is appropriate for your body shape.
Silicone grip is reduced
Ensure breeches are washed according to care instructions, without fabric softener, which can affect the silicone's effectiveness. Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying.
Material appears see-through after washing
Verify that the care instructions have been followed precisely. If the issue persists, the fabric may have been overstretched or damaged. Contact customer support if within warranty.
