Where to get Jodhpurs...

[muddygreymare]

For tall skinny people?
I am about 5ft 7 and have really long legs but am built like a twig and I can never find jodhpurs that fit. I am a size 24 in jodhpurs but i can usually only ever find child sized ones and they are waaaay too short for my legs and all the ones I have now are too short and am desperately in need of some new ones

So does anyone know of jodhpurs that aren't overly expensive that will be small enough round the waist but long enough in the leg?

Thanks in advance - Guinness ginger cake for anyone who can help

Will have a look at Sherwood jods - thanks. Am going to buy some long boots and then go down the breeches route I think. Thank you

I get the cheap 'Gallop' ones from eBay (about £16) and end up having to cut about a foot off the length and I'm nearly 5'8" ... unfortunately not a size 24 though

Caldene do a size 24 in long leg for women. I think its their three tech range.

Back in the days when I had that problem I had a pair made to measure. I'm pretty sure that the lady who made them is now dobbies jodhs online. The jodhs aren't expensive and mine lasted years and years, going to order a new pair from her soon.

The alternative is to eat more junk food, worked for me, I'm now an easy to buy size 14!
