Breeches shopping help!!

RF please would you post a picture of you competing in your navy jodhpurs if they turn up in time? I'd love to change to navy too so it would be great to see what it looks like.

I will do - hoping to run at Oasby in Navy!

Sorry to jump in on this thread. The breeches sound lovely and I'd love to try a Pikeur if I can find a bargain at some point, but I can never work out their sizing.
Is there a chart somewhere of the UK equivalent, or can anyone give me a rough guide for sizes 6-10 please? Do they tend to be accurately sized?

My Pikeurs are a size 26 and I was a regular size 10.

If I remember rightly the 40/26 equates to a 10, and the 42/28 a 12, but they can come up a little small.

Will measure my multiple pairs later for you

And, confusingly the longer length sizes (which are the ones I have, because the regulars are pretty short) - so the regular 40 long length equivalent is an 80 and the 42 is an 84....

Apologies for the delay: thank you! That’s very helpful. Ditto tda: thanks

The bit about the longer lengths is beginning to fry my brain <g> why not just have a size plus leg length <mutter mutter>

Thanks for the reminder. My pair of 84 Candelas are equivalent to 32". The Pikeur size guide would say they're a 14 UK sizes wise, but they're definitely a 12!

Always a bit worried about ordering from Europe these days... And those tredsteps - I own a pair, and they have faded pretty badly sadly!

I ordered a jacket from Kramer a short while ago and was a bit worried about how long it would take but it was 3 days which I thought was pretty good

Kramers been good for me so far!
