Breeches!

[Cloudhorse]

Hi, I need some advice on buying a new pair of breeches, I'm looking for some for competing, ideally cream or a yellowish-beige.

I've tried a few different ones in the local saddlers, but they all seem to be too tight in the hips and thighs! They have some that are looser, but then they are too baggy, and look more like old-fashioned breeches from yesteryear!

So I'm looking for a pair that are a generous (but not too generous cut!) and also have a good stretch in them. Some of the cotton breeches don't seem to have enough elasticity in them, but if anyone knows of some good makes that are comfy and stretchy, let me know!

Also don't want any with pleated fronts because they tend to look too bulky, especially when mounted up!

Have you tried mountain horse (not sure what style) but they do a very stretchy pair?

Mountain horse Isolde, or ive just brought a pair of Just Togs breeches with the clarino knees, and they are sooooo comfy cos they are very stretchy! Worth a try!?

I've googled the Mountain Horse Isolde breeches - the light beige look good for competitions!

What's the name of those Just Togs breeches with the clarino knee patches - they sound good too! So many options now thank you!!

The Isolde breeches come up huge as they are cut for the fuller figure, but are very comfortable.

Wahey! I've ordered some Isolde breeches in beige, thanks for the advice everyone! I'll report back on them when I've given them a test drive!

also found that TBK are now doing breeches in beige and black in my local saddlers, and they are nice knitted cotton/elastic ones!
