Back in the beginning of 2015 I was down to my last pair of pants and had to make a decision: buy more jeans or buy breeches. I loved my jeans, Carharts that were tough and practical and each lasted two to three years of tough use, including riding. I went with the breeches because they were the more practical choice since I don't actually like ( Read more... )

You may remember me posting a while back about my frustrating search for tall boots/half chaps that would fit large calves here. There were lots of great suggestions in the comments, but I was reluctant to spend a ton of money on items I couldn't try on and then have them not fit and have to send them back and order something else.

Basically, the title says it all. I'm 5'3.5" and have always had to wear petites in jeans.

( breeches and boots questions, and rider clothing rant back here )

So right now all I wear to my riding lessons are a pair of my old jeans and a sweater. I have some paddock boots and a riding helmet, but I would really like to get some breeches, because these jeans just are not doing the job plus they are too baggy. So my question is what type of breeches do you guys prefer (price is a factor of course, I'm on a ( Read more... )

I ordered a few pairs of On Course full seat breeches last year because they were on sale and pretty cheap. Well, you get what you pay for and basically even after they have broken in for a year, I get nasty blisters on my knees. And they fall down when I ride, which is incredibly annoying ( Read more... )
