I live in my Eurostars. Always used to have Pikeurs but they seem to always give at the crotch, when you're paying over £100 for a pair of breeches that's just not on!

Recently bought a pair of dublin full seat breeches and they're so uncomfortable compared to my Euro stars - they were about £100 cheaper though!!
 
I was looking at some Cotton Naturals ones - never heard of them before but they look ok - anyone have any experience of those?
 
My Dublin Full Seat are the most comfortable I've ever owned! I wear them for work (on a carriage) and for comps, i have some cheap ones for every day riding but the dublin ones are moving more and more into everyday! I love them
 
Everyday- Derby houses own. I work with horses so am in them all day everyday.

Comps- Equitech. I love equitech clothes as they are so comfortable, I also have their xc shirt and thermal shirt (for hunting) which are fab.
 
I've just discovered Mark Todd breeches - blooming fab! I have some Dublin full seat ones for competition, but I now have two pairs of MTs (checked ones for nice and jeans type ones for work) and I much prefer them. I am lacking in the behind and most breeches/jods look really baggy (

I have some cool stripy socks to go with my denim breeches - so equi-chav

Gosh, I have allsorts!!

Comp ones are all Gorringe 400 though - I like them and I can dye them if I want them more 'yellow'

For everyday I have some Gallop ones, Harry Hall ones, Loveson ones, Tesco ones....etc
 
Everyday - mixture of Horka, Caldene, Pikeur, Euro-Star, Schumacher, Hac-Tac competition ones (for everyday! I know!).
Competition - Lucinda Green Horseware, or Dobbie's.
 
Mu sister's a big Rugged fan. Checks for yard and hacking and full seats in white or stone for comps. Personaaly I love my Equetech Unitys but I'm just a happy hacker....
 
Nearly always have Cavallo for both every day and competition but also have Pikeur, Eurostar and Horka.
 
Dont compete as cant be arsed any more. For hacking its mainly Mountain Horse, Pikeur, Equetech, Tally Ho. Basically any good quality make.
 
a) Caldene belgrade breeches. They are very comfy and tend to fit quite well and I love the sticky bum until it wears down! Only problem I have found with them is the zip goes after awhile sometimes. Still need to find cheaper comfy breeches!
b) Same as above.
 
Pikeur for both - i love the fit and impressed by how long they last considering i'm riding in them all day, they're economic - that's what i tell my boyf ;)
 
a) turfmaster - they are unbelievably comfy - they are water resistant so great for yard, and have a lovely soft fleece lining inside :D

b) toggi - I only have 1 pair of comp breeches :o the other pair have been deemed "unuseable" since they have a saggy bum!
Only complaint i have with toggi is that they seem to be made for the shorter person (im 5f7 on a good day!) as the velcro/soft thingy at the bottom dosent even begin to do up! :o
 
For home I use Mark Todd or Derbyhouse Jeans breeches.
Competitions, after trying on 8 pairs ranging from £39 to £79, I ended up with the cheapest.... again Mark Todd!!! The close second were the pikeurs, but they were a lot more expensive that the MT's!!
