R.J. Classics Breeches: Size, Fit, and Style Guide
Michelle DrumA good pair of breeches will keep you comfortable in the saddle and allow you to fully focus on performance. Because there are many options for English riders today, it can be challenging to know where to start your search for the perfect pair. One of the most popular brands at The Farm House is R.J. Classics, which offers quality and value as well as a range of styles to choose from. In this guide, we’ll focus on what you need to know about R.J. Classics breeches and why our customers love them.
About R.J. Classics
R.J. Classics was founded over 20 years ago, quickly building a reputation for attention to detail, value, and quality. The company was created by a show mom who was trying to find quality horse-riding apparel for her junior rider that would fit her budget. She leveraged her extensive family experience in the apparel industry and her business expertise to establish the brand in 2000.
R.J. Classics’ mission is “to offer a variety of price points to the customer, offer fashionable styling, and always produce quality garments.” Though the company has grown, its mission remains the same as when it first started, helping them build a loyal customer base.
R.J. Classics Breeches Sizing
Breeches are an essential part of any rider’s gear since they are specifically created for horseback riding. They are designed for comfort and to enhance the communication between a rider and horse, allowing the horse to feel the rider’s leg movements. In general, breeches should allow freedom of movement without chafing and pinching, and they should fit snugly through the leg and seat. R.J. Classics’ breeches are consistently sized across styles, so if you find one style you like, you can reliably purchase others in the same size.
R.J. Classics Breeches Size Charts
R.J. Classics breeches are available in a range of sizes for women and girls. Sizing is based on waist and hip measurements. The brand offers two lengths in all sizes for women and one standard length for girls.
R.J. Classics Breeches Fit
R.J. Classics offers both mid-rise and natural-rise breeches along with a choice of front-zip or size-zip. So, you can select the style and cut that you prefer. They run very true to size, so they’re an easy purchase. In fact, we have found they fit almost identically to Tailored Sportsman, though the fabric has a bit more stretch. So, if you have a pair of Tailored Sportsman breeches, you’re most of the way there finding a pair of R.J. Classics breeches you’ll love. And because R.J. Classics styles are sized similarly, you can depend on a consistent fit.
