How to Use
- Measure your waist and hips and compare them with the size guide before choosing your size.
- Pull the breeches on, fasten the fly front and thread a belt through the loops if you wish.
- Smooth the seamfree inside leg flat so it sits without twisting against the saddle.
- Pull long boots or half chaps over the anatomic leg panels for a close contact fit.
- Mount up and check the knee grip sits over your knee contact point; adjust the waistband if needed.
- After riding, wash according to the care label and dry away from direct heat.
FAQ
Should I size up or down in LeMieux Isabelle breeches?
They have a close, athletic fit with generous four-way stretch. Take your usual breech size for a snug fit, or size up if you prefer more room through the thigh and waist.
What is the difference between knee grip and full seat?
Knee grip places grip panels at the knee for stability while allowing more freedom in the seat. Full seat extends grip across the seat and inner thigh, which many dressage riders prefer. The Isabelle style is offered in both.
Can I wear these under long riding boots?
Yes. The anatomic leg panels and seamfree inside leg are designed to reduce bulk under long boots and half chaps for a close contact feel.
Are these breeches suitable for competition?
The smart tailored styling, fly front and belt loops suit both schooling and competition. Check your discipline's turnout rules for accepted colours.
How should I wash them?
Follow the care label. Fasten the fly front, wash cool and avoid fabric conditioner, tumble drying and high heat, which can affect stretch fibres and grip panels.
Are they warm enough for winter riding?
They are a year-round stretch breech rather than a fleece-lined winter breech. Layer with thermal base layers or chaps in cold weather.
