Soft stonewashed stretch mid-rise denim breeches. I rode in these only a few times, but the broken-in denim style makes them seem more worn than they are. Advertising and personal photos are representative of style and condition. These are thin and stretchy, not thick or compressive denim, and they are quite short (approx 22" inseam), with stretchy sock bottoms. I love that they have elastic in the waist. I would say they are a true XS/0/22, so most riders would probably think they run small. Cool embellishments and beautiful color, very stylish. The silicone grip patterns are not grippy at all and never have been, if that matters. These are fantastic for small riders who find size 24 or sometimes even 22 to be too large, and run a bit smaller than current Aztec Diamond styles. I ride dressage and these are not really dressage style, and I have too many breeches so they aren't in the rotation for me.
