Jodhpur sizing

[kirstyfk]

Finally getting round to buying some new jodhpurs are mine died. I have been using my mum's old breeches which as older than I am as a replacement! But as every time I look for new jodhpurs I'm stuck with sizing. I am a 14/16 so what will the size be. I don't see why they don't use the normal british sizing!

I'm an average size 14 (sometimes 16 depending on shop) and i wear a size 30.

You would probs be able to wear a 30 if not a 32.

Just measure your waist to get the correct size. Some jod manufacturers do use normal dress sizing but are very old fashioned and class a 24" waist as a 10, a 26" as a 12 and a 28" as a 14 which is no where near what normal clothes shops use.

Depends alot on your shape- I'm a size10/12 in trousers BUT because I have fat hips but a slim waist I am a 26 in jods (also have 24 and 28 that I wear). Old style jods sit on your true waist wheras newer styles are nearer the hips so you are likely to need a bigger size.
