#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have a few pair of Dublin full seat.  They are a mircofibre/ribbing...they wear like iron and don't pill or catch like the cotton or shrink.  The seat is not leather but a snythetic suede type.  I am hard to fit...wide waist with short length.  Best of all they are very affordable.  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My most favourite with REAL leather seat are my REALLY old Jumper King white breeches.  Ribbed microfibre also...they are similar to Eurostar.  I believe Bahr's used to carry that make your looking for.  I only wear these for show so they are in good conditions.  I have taken them our of retirement.  I have not worn them for 10 years...LOL!  They still look great!  Just washed them...show on the weekend!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Equissentials and Tropical Riders.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Both have deerskin seats and wear like iron. I got rid of all my other breeches after riding in them once.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#And they will custom make them (I believe at no extra charge).#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

I'm a big fan of Equissentials.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Why do I love them?#ed_op#br#ed_cl#1) Super comfortable  #ed_op#br#ed_cl#2) Custom fit to my odd shape#ed_op#br#ed_cl#3) Superior fabric, buttery deerskin, excellent workmanship -- so they last forever even after many washes#ed_op#br#ed_cl#4) If you lose weight, they'll re-size them at no cost for labour. You only pay shipping#ed_op#br#ed_cl#5) Once the fabric wears out, they'll recycle the deerskin onto new breeches at a reduced price #ed_op#br#ed_cl#6) Unbelievable customer service#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#www.equissentials.net#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Equissentials, where do you guys buy them.  I just looked them up and they look exactly what I am looking for.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I hate buying breeches, no one makes them to fit my figure.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have been riding the last couple of years in the Tuffy Rider with the Carino seat.  I love them comfort wise but they don't look the greatest.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

When something goes wrong in a show, it's actually the best time because you learn from it. You ask yourself 'what can I do better?' When everything goes OK, you don't ask yourself that question --- ANKY

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I think Tailored Sportsman breeches are the best. I'm not sure if they make them in full seat though. You can buy them at Greenhawk or Running Fox. Royal Highness makes nice breeches too, thats what I have right now and they are really comfortable. I know they make them in FS too. And mine are the low rise ones. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

My favorite ones are the Kerrits FS Schoeller. They are neither high or
low rise (they are just "normal" rise). They have a side zipper and
suede seat. They wear a bit hot in the summer, but they are great the
rest 3/4 of the year!

Try ebay

Postby LucasL » Thu Aug 18, 2005 9:37 pm

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Sometimes you can find Equissentials on Ebay for less than the official website.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I buy mine at Rolex - they always have a booth there.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Tropical Riders emails all their customers when they are having a clearance - you can call them up and give them your size and they will let you know what's available.  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#TR have the absolutely best summer breeches - enduracools.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have a couple of pairs of fullseats that fit fine, but I find that they are just too sticky - I can't shift around like I need to.  I have one pair with a clarino seat, and my Millers have this synthetic seat which is UBER sticky.  Would the leather or deerskin have a bit more give?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
