Competition Breeches

[EmmaChal]

What do you wear?
I am looking for a new pair as mine are in need of a replacement.
Have worn a very comfortable Toggi pair for a while but they really don't wear very well. Ideally would like something with a pleated, side-pocketed front and high waisted back - not too bothered about a full seat as with very long legs these often come up too short and then feel funny!

i like my barbour pair, but they are full seated, they are still in great condition after 2 years wear though and have a nice high waist!

I have countless pairs of Pikeur and Eurostar breeches for competing and hunting in, I love them!

Pikeur do nice ones with pleated fronts and knee patches.
I had been using Mountain Horse full seat breeches and they don't suit long legs at all! Couldn't even sit in the saddle at they kept pulling downwards!
And another thing, a white full seat looks like wearing a nappy and makes my bum look bigger!

I've got real cheapo Tally Ho breeches but they fit me really well !!

I have a pair of John Whitakers and they have lasted so far. My breeches normally go at the knee after a year and these have been washed several hundred times and look in good nick. My other set are Toggis and I am surprised your have not washed well.

Cavallo, full seat. Kentucky, Miami. Sportline,on the web they have the most comfy full seat.
The Ankys used to be good but can be a bit see through!!!

 

[EmmaChal]

Well, they have lasted wel in the sense I wear them alot and wash after every comp, but the seat has gone all bobbly, which is sad as just as expensive as a Pikeur pair etc.
Cavallo look lovely - going to save up for a pair!

RTS-Bentex for me. Do all sorts of style including the pleated, side pocket high waist ones. Buy them direct from Germany for a fraction of the price. The sticky bum seat of them is also stretchy unlike others on the market. Wash well and thicker fabric that does not show every lump or bump.

What are they like on short people?

 

[kerilli]

i love cavallo and pikeur, have long legs too and like high waist and full seat, and they tick all the boxes, wash well, and last for years.

the dublin ones are nice and not too xpensive!! Ive got 2 lovely pairs of sarm hipique (sp) but there mens but you woldnt no!! (old boss gave them too me!!)

I have always used Cavallo but IMO they wash terrible (especially darker colours) and the fabric goes a bit funny, so I'm now buying Pikeur and am impressed - the blue ones I bought 2 months ago are still blue and not a horrid shade of grey like my cavallo's!!!

 

[kerilli]

my cavallos wash fine, thank god!

 

[Halfstep]

Eurostars! I love them. They are ever so slightly off-white, and are really flattering. Unfortunately they have stopped making them so I have to make sure my pairs last!
