- Step into the breeches, pull them up to the mid-rise position on the waist and fasten the front fly zip.
- Smooth the fabric down the leg so the suede knee patches sit over the point of your knee.
- Pull the mesh sock section flat and pull your tall boots or half chaps over the top.
- Mount up and check the knee patches sit against the saddle flap; adjust the leg before riding if needed.

FAQ
Do these breeches come up true to size?
They are a close-fitting mid-rise cut with four-way stretch. Most riders take their usual size, but if you are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit over the seat and thigh, size up.
Can I wear these under tall boots?
Yes. The seam-free inside leg is designed to reduce bulk under tall boots and the ultra-thin mesh sock is breathable beneath the boot.
Are the knee patches grippy enough for jumping?
The self-colour suede knee patches give grip and stability in the saddle, which helps to keep the leg secure when jumping and schooling. They are a knee patch rather than a full seat.
What rise are these breeches?
They are a mid-rise breech, sitting between a low-rise and a high-rise waist, with a front fly zip for a traditional finish.
How should I wash them?
Follow the care label, close the fly zip first, wash at a low temperature with similar colours and avoid fabric conditioner so the suede knee patches keep their grip.
Are they only for Hunter classes?
No. They are designed for the Hunter discipline but are suitable for any rider, including schooling, lessons, hacking and general yard use.
