Product Information
Full details
The Shires SaddleHugger Breeches are designed for adult male riders who prioritize comfort and freedom of movement in the saddle. Featuring a high-quality 4-way stretch knit fabric, these breeches provide a superior fit that contours to the body without restricting range of motion; however, users should be aware that the specific care requirements—namely the prohibition of tumble drying and ironing—necessitate a bit more attention during maintenance.

FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for competition?
While they feature a traditional look with a flat front and belt loops, check your specific competition rulebook, as these are designed as general-purpose riding breeches.
Do I need to size up because of the generous cut?
The breeches are designed to fit true to the 30-inch waist measurement; the 'generous cut' refers to the comfort of the fit, not necessarily a need to change your standard size.
Can I use fabric softener on these?
It is generally recommended to avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the breathability and stretch capabilities of the technical knit fabric.
How do I remove mud from the fabric?
Allow mud to dry completely and brush it off with a soft brush before washing at 30 degrees.
Are they water-resistant?
No, these breeches are made of a cotton-blend stretch knit and are not designed to be water-resistant.
Troubleshooting
Leg fastenings are coming loose during a ride
Ensure the touch close fasteners are pressed firmly together and are not clogged with debris or hay; keep the hook-and-loop surface clean.
Fabric appears slightly loose after multiple uses
Wash the breeches according to the 30-degree cycle instructions to help the knitted fabric regain its original shape and elasticity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Shires SaddleHugger Breeches maintain their stretch and form, follow these care instructions strictly:
- Machine Washing: Wash at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius using a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place these breeches in a tumble dryer, as high heat will damage the elasticity of the knitted fabric.
- Prohibited Actions: Do not bleach or iron the garment, as these processes can degrade the fabric structure and alter the fit.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of the black fabric.
