Am I Odd???!!!

[FREESTYLER]

Hi,

I have a big prob! I am trying to find a shop that sells white full seat breeches that fit... I went to Coleman Croft, Tittmus, Ingastone but no joy... I am size 30 waist so I do not think that bad (although I know I could lose a few more pounds!!!) BUT yesterday when I tried on some I looked like the village idot!

My friends were having a ball laughing at the way they hung on me .... some fitted at the waist but were baggy as hell on the legs and the last pair I tried on fitted my legs but the waist came right up to under my boobs

!! I have tried Pikeur and Cavello but found that most of the shops so far I have been to only sell one particular style of Pikeur/Cavello etc.. I do not want to go 100's of miles away but does anyone know of a shop that has a vast variety of white competition breeches?

Are you going to Blue Chip? If you were that would probably be your best bet as there should be a few shops there

cant think of anywhere round you that you havent been so diesel probably on right lines, go to a big show/event and seee whats there, like british open in birmingham in couple weeks. perfect excuse to go.

Hi

You will also find Eurostar are great for people with skinny legs. I have very skinny legs and at my thinnest wore 26" breeches although the ones I have now are 28" I don't think you waist size is at all bad so don't worry, it is just a case of trying on a lot of different brands!!

Thanks everyone, I am in fact going to the Nationals but I need them for that event!!

You'll have time to shop beforehand won't you?

Hopefully!! But dont want to be without a pair of breeches..

apparently Isabell Werth Breeches are fab but cannot find a stockist anywhere.........

For Isabell try classicdressage, they do other nice makes too like Bentex but not cheap, they also sell dressage horses and have a very dangerous button labelled "add to basket"!

Have also fed my breeches addiction on ebay with these two shops :eldragonverde and horse heaven. Both seem to do one-offs and measure them round the waist, thigh, hip and knees so you get a good fit. Have had Schumacher and Eurostar at about 40% off, they also do Bentex, Pikeur etc and can definitley recommend

If you are in Enfield do they have them at Oldencraig?
