LeMieux Hunter Mid-Rise Suede Knee Patch Riding Breeches
Description
LeMieux Hunter Breeches - Classic Mid-Rise Riding Breeches with Suede Knee Grip
The LeMieux Hunter Breeches are a classic mid-rise riding breech with a front fly zip, made from four-way stretch fabric with self-colour suede knee patches for grip. They are designed for the Hunter discipline but suit any rider who wants a traditional, smart breech for schooling, hacking or competing.
Best for riders who wear tall boots: the seam-free inside leg is designed for reduced bulk beneath the boot, and the ultra-thin mesh sock stays breathable when the heat is on. Compared with a low-rise breech, the mid-rise cut sits higher on the waist for a more secure, traditional silhouette in the saddle.

How to Use
- Choose your usual breech size; if you are between sizes or prefer more room through the seat and thigh, size up.
- Pull the breeches on and fasten the front fly zip, checking the mid-rise waistband sits comfortably when seated.
- Smooth the mesh sock down the lower leg so it lies flat before pulling on your tall boots or chaps.
- Check the suede knee patches sit over your point of knee contact once mounted, and adjust the waistband if needed.
- After riding, wash in line with the care label and dry naturally, avoiding high heat on the suede patches.

FAQ
Are the LeMieux Hunter Breeches true to size?
The four-way stretch fabric gives a close but forgiving fit, so most riders take their usual breech size. If you are between sizes, or like extra room through the seat and thigh, choose the larger size.
What rise are these breeches?
They are a mid-rise breech, sitting between a low-rise and a high-rise, with a traditional front fly zip.
Can they be worn under tall riding boots?
Yes. The inside leg is seam-free to reduce bulk under tall boots, and the ultra-thin mesh sock is breathable inside the boot.
Do they have full seat or knee grip?
They have self-colour suede patches inside the knee, which provide grip and stability in the saddle rather than full seat coverage.
Are they only for Hunter classes?
No. They are designed for the Hunter discipline but the classic styling and stretch fabric make them suitable for schooling, hacking and everyday riding.
How should they be cared for?
Wash in line with the garment care label with the fly zip closed, and avoid fabric conditioner or high heat on the suede knee patches so the grip and texture are maintained.
