Mens Breeches

by Eland Lodge 31 Mar 2022 0 Comments

Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about our male riders. We know you need a good pair of breeches too and our team have hand picked some of their favorite breeches from the super comfy everyday performance breeches through to the smart, technical competition breeches. We’ve put together a list and some helpful tips as to what to look for, when to wear them and most importantly, which ones to buy.  

What are breeches and when should I wear them?

Breeches are commonly worn when competing, schooling, or hunting as they are more traditional. Long boots tend to be the most common choice of footwear worn with breeches, due to where breeches finish on the leg, typically finishing around the rider’s mid-calf or above the ankle and have elasticated or Velcro cuffs to ensure a snug fit.

What are the pros to getting breeches?

  • They are considered to be a smart traditional look
  • They are comfortable and still offer a good range of flexibility while riding
  • Tend to come in competition colours

What are the cons to getting breeches?

  • Light competition colours won’t stay light if they are worn for mucking out so try to avoid wearing them for day-to-day jobs
  • Traditionally worn with long boots due to the cut, but can be worn with short boots

Which breeches should I buy?

Our team of experts have compiled a list of their favorite 5 pairs of breeches to help you find the right pair that will make you feel confident and comfortable not only on the yard, but also in the saddle.
