Caldene breeches

Me again

How do you find Caldene breeches, for every day riding? I've always been a Dublin girl - I know which size fits me, they last, they look ok. However, have been looking at Caldene today in local tack shop and now looking online. They look good but how do they fit (big, small...I'm a size 8 in normal life but a 10 in breeches)? Do they last?

I'd always thought Caldene were expensive comeptition breeches but they're pretty reasonably priced online...

All opinions welcome

I had a couple of pairs of the sticky bum ones, they have a nice fit and if anything come up a bit on the big side, but they don't last I'm afraid, I managed to kill mine in about 3 months. I do live in my breeches as I work full time with horses, but still, 3 months just isn't good enough.

Cheers Martlin, that's helpful. I might stick to Dublin then, all of mine have lasted forever

Well I love mine I have the stickey bum and they have lasted and lasted and I would say come up to size.

agree with Irish Whiskey, good fit, very comfy and have lasted years.

Well in the end I just wasn't brave enough to deviate from the old faithful Dublin breeches and have ordered a pair this morning

Thanks for the opinions guys

I've got a pair of the Caldene Belgrade in practically every colour! Started wearing them about 4 years ago, they do fade a bit but I've found them value for money and wash/wear well.
