FAQs
What is the primary material used?
The breeches are constructed from a technical Creora 4-way stretch knitted fabric for maximum comfort.
Are these suitable for formal competition?
These are primarily designed for everyday riding and schooling, though they offer a clean, professional appearance.
How do I choose the correct size?
These feature a generous cut. If you prefer a very close, skin-tight fit, you may want to consult the size guide carefully or consider if a snugger fit is required.
Can these be worn with tall boots?
Yes, the touch-close leg fastenings are specifically designed to be slim enough to fit comfortably inside tall riding boots.
Are they available in colors other than black?
While this specific model is black, other variations in the Shires/SaddleHugger range may be available in beige.
Troubleshooting
Leg fastenings coming undone during a ride
Ensure the touch-close surfaces are free of debris, hair, or dust, and press firmly to engage the full surface area of the closure.
Fabric losing shape or stretch over time
Avoid using fabric softeners or excessive heat when drying, as these can break down the synthetic stretch fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shires SaddleHugger Breeches, we recommend machine washing on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the elasticity of the Creora fabric. These breeches are compatible with most standard riding boots; the touch-close leg fastenings allow you to tailor the hem to fit smoothly inside long boots or chaps without creating pressure points. Always ensure the touch-close tabs are fully secured before washing to prevent snagging on other items in the laundry.
