I'm riding side saddle in the Miss Blaby procession on June 7 (whoo hoo!) and need a pair of nice "suede" full seat breeches in navy to wear under my habit but am having trouble finding a pair that are PLAIN (no front pleats, not excessively high waisted) with a matching dark navy clarino or similar seat. Everything seems to have contrasting seats, racing stripes, tiger patterns, bling, etc or if I do find a pair that are plain, they don't do them in long lengths..grrr!!

I found a pair of Harry Hall Ascot ones but these are impossible to find as I don't think they are making them anymore (I found two websites that have them but both are clearing out the sizes they have left, no 30L's).

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a pair of Harry Hall Ascots in navy (30L) or can recommend anything similar in about the £50 price range?

I found these and they are exactly what I want but a bit pricey but may have to bite the bullet and get them if I don't find anything else:

Does anyone know if the Schumacher's run true to size or do they run smallish? I take a 30 waist in HH's and Neddys and a 28 in Dublins.

Thanks guys!
 
Have you tried Mark Todd breeches? They do Tauranga full seat breeches for around £50. I've got a few pairs of Mark Todd breeches and i love them, they're really comfy and i find them true to size aswell.

Try Derby House own brand. I have a pair of navy with full seat and I love them!! They do a variety of styles and wear better than most medium priced brands.
 
Go to the RTS Sportline site and click on the Union Jack. They do lovely breeches much cheaper off their own website, quick delivery even from Germany and no quibble return policy. Lots of other goodies on there too.
 
I did look into Neddy's as I have a pair of their full seats in brown but frankly, I don't wear them that often as I find they fit funny in the knee (my other Neddy's are knee patch and are good).

Not tried the others mention tho- will start looking now at them!

Im wearing some right now... Derby house ones, bought from burghley for about £40... I love them to pieces. Admittedly high waisted but doesnt stop me buying them a few sizes too small and wearing them on my hips!
 
Just Togs do a pair, they are a bit high waisted though, so may not be what you want. I have three pairs in navy, brown and beige.
 
Equetech do navy breeches with the full suede seat and a normal waist with no tucks etc. I live in mine. Just google equetech.
