Jodphur waist help?!

[Nudibranch]

I have a hernia just above the navel which is being repaired with a mesh on Wednesday (the joys of babies eh?). As it's painful to touch I am still wearing maternity jeans/trousers, and have been riding with the fastening undone on my jodphurs. Not ideal as then the zip comes down! I've been told to expect some swelling and discomfort for a fair while afterwards, and I expect not to ride for about 6 weeks. After that I'd like some new jodphurs which are a bit looser on the waist so they don't press on the hernia repair. So can anyone recommend a make that is large around the waist? Or would going up a size or two be enough? And just to complicate matters I could do with a tall/long leg.

Can you get a pull on pair rather than zip? Would that work? Not sure what your normal size is but fuller fillies do very well cut pairs with a generous waist.

Oh hey heres a thought... what about those cut away ones the girls wear to avoid belly button piercings? I'm afraid I don't know the make because I only encounter them tack checking at PC but they have a sort of low cross over just above the bikini line. The end about an inch or two below the navel. Would that work better?

I had a pair of Shires hipster Jodhpurs a few years back. They sat very low (but were still comfortable!) so would maybe be worth a look?

Ahh also have some Just Toggs pull on Ines which are actually my daughters but so comfy I often borrow! They are fairly low but also have a thick V shape waistband so would also be good?

Get some low slung ones, or use a std pair in a larger size and get hold of a pair of mens braces to keep them up x

the just togs Nevada's are the low slung hipster ones that Shay mentioned
