As the title says I am 6ft tall with 36in inside leg and I am currently looking for some new jodhpurs/breeches and also a pair of long riding boots.

What can you recommend to me? I have had a few pairs of Dublin jods but they haven't lasted very long!

Thank you :-)
 
Ariat boots are long in the leg. I'm tall and I nearly always wear breeches. For years didn't realise that they're weren't supposed to end mid calf - I'm so used to them being that long now it doesn't bother me however the ones with stretchy mesh bits rather than Velcro are much more comfortable. For a long jods bargain you can't beat Robinsons - only a shade over £20 and as good quality as ones twice the price.
 
Hi, my leg length is the same and I have a pair of toggi long boots for riding and they are a good fit. Also have toggi jodphurs in regular which are very long and fit great. Have ordered a pair of hkm winter breeches in long so will see how they are. Equi tech jods come in long but I bought mine a long time ago. Also had mountain horse jod boots and chaps and they were ok. Hope that helps :-)
 
I'm about 5'11 and have the Ariat Covington gaiters in the longest length and they really are tall! I would hazard that they would be fine - lovely gaiters as well. I wear Horze and Rugged breeches both pof which are really hardwearing.
 
I have these and I'm so impressed to have a boot that is actually long enough! To the point where they are a wee bit pinchy, until you get your heel down and ride properly ;)

I have these a size larger than I wear in any other brand (I use clarks fitting as my baseline!) and they're just right, not in any way too big - so you may need to wear up a size.
 
I am 5'10" with a 34"inside leg, i have gersemi and the horseware Belle jodhpurs for everyday wear and they are a good length and have lasted me a good while now! For shows again gersemi and animo and they all fit well. Another vote for ariat gaiters they are made really long and a good fit and for shows i got parlanti boots made to measure, they were expensive but have had them 4 years now and they still look great!
