jods and breeches sizes???

[xTrooperx]

im very confused its been a good few years since i was last riding, anyway i was looking at some clothing jods and breeches, but the sizes just confuse..i.e. robsinson sized are 24'' to 38'' the odd 40'' but as i thought (googled it) size 14 is 42'' or have i got this wrong? i knew i put on some weight but the av size in uk is 18.. yet i cant even buy a 14 (42'')?

Your looking for a 32" waist x

Size 14 is usually a size 28 or 30 in breeches & Jods

I wear a 26 which is a 8? OP I would go to a local tack shop and try some on, I guess it just depends on your shape and length of your legs x

^^ I wear a 24" but I am a 10! they are so random!

OP I would just measure your waist!

30 or 32 should do you, but just to make things interesting, each make sizes differently too! I'd try and get down to a local saddlery shop and see what brands suit your shape and what size you come up. It is such a pain! At least when you know a couple of brands you like and what size you are in each then you can have a hunt about on line.

averages from my experiences are 36 being a 16 to 18 and 34 being a 16. a 14 is usualy a 32

30 is 12
28 is 10
26 is 8
24 is 6

obviously its like anything else in cloths 32 to 36 is a 16 and 30 to 34 is 14 so try some on xxx

When I was trying on breeches at Derby House I found the "same" size could be anything from unable to get above my knees to room for 2, and that was 1 brand, so I would say you definitely need to try on.

I'm a 14 at usually wear 30's but I have a couple of 28's and a 32 but they are massive in the leg.

I'm 5'9" and a size 16 and all my jods are a size 32 long except for the odd small fitting brands like Ariat where I need a 34. Harry Hall Atlantas are always generous I find and I can take 30's in them.

thank you all , i was starting to think i was either really stupid or just massive. I will take your advise and go to a local tack shop.

Hi, Just to let you know that a 42 is the right size for a size 14, but this size is usually used in european jodhpurs, and a 32 is the size in england/ireland. Dublin brand Jodhpurs are the only ones I have found to be overgenerous in sizing. Hope this helps.
