Microfiber Front Zip Breech
English Show Apparel
Manufacturer: Dublin
Model: Microfiber Front Zip Breech
Category: English Show Apparel
Purchase: I got them for about $49 on EquestrianCollections.com. They were on clearance so I bought a pair.
Likes: Nice look and sturdy material. I find they're very comfortable to ride in with just enough stretch. I wanted to get another pair, but by the time I went back to see if I could get more, they were sold out of my size. I've put these things through hell and back and they've held up to it.
Dislikes: Very hard to find now. I see them still on clearance at a couple of stores, but not in my size. The material is a little bit thick. While I was breaking in my boots this made them hard to get on.
Quality: Very well made. Mine have been beat to all hell and don't even have a run or a loose stitch. They're my primary schooling breech now so they've had heavy use. They also had ended up in the dryer more than once accidentally and I now tend to just use the dryer since I stained them up (I learned the hard way that when breaking in a new saddle that you just oiled, don't wear your good breeches unless you intend them to become your schooling breeches). The dryer in my experience has been the death of breeches. They start to run or split within a month or two of being through the dryer. But the only problem I had with these was the synthetic suede being a little warn.
Let me quickly emphasize that recommend line drying yours.
Summary: Having had so many breeches fall apart within half a year, these have been great. I just wish I hadn't stained them up and turned them from a show breech into a schooling breech.
