Hi all, I plan to return to riding soon and need a whole new wardrobe. I am short (5’) but unfortunately not slim
Currently (just under 11 stone). I need some ideally high waisted comfortable jodphurs or not too flimsy riding tights, nothing to break the bank!
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
 
I'm a great fan of jodhpurs.co.uk (think that's the correct name of their website!). I'm 5'3 and so finding jods that aren't looping around my ankles is a challenge.

I'm nearly 10-stone (size 14) and find their "L" size is just right.

Have tried Countrydale, but theirs seem to have a seam in the "wrong place" (if you see what I mean)...... whereas the jodhpurs.co.uk. ones don't have that extra seam.

You may find they have some special offers on. I've got a couple of sets of theirs: they do a winterweight and a summerweight version. They wash very easily and always are very comfy.

I am a great fan of Saxon cotton/spandex jodhs, cheap, super comfortable and I am ashamed to say I just chop the bottoms off and turn up with iron on tape. Their sizes are generous, but sadly all the fun colours are now longer available. Also like Dublin cotton/spandex, ditto for length and sizing.

ETA I'm 5'2" and shrinking with age 🙈 😂
 
I accidentally discovered the answer…….breeches! I’m 5ft 1 and on me they pretty much fit as normal jodhs. Before I was forever battling with getting the zip of my riding boots to pass the rolls of jodhpur leg above my ankle. Failing that, I’d take a pair of scissors and Wundaweb tape to a normal pair of jodhs.
