Rider Experiences
Christine Miller I have been riding in the Trophy Hunter mid-rise breeches for over five years, and they are truly the only brand that withstands the rigors of daily training while looking brand new for a Sunday classic. The four-way stretch fabric is substantial enough to be incredibly flattering and hide any imperfections, yet it moves with me perfectly over 1.20m fences without ever sagging at the knee. I recently picked up a pair with the new sock bottoms, and the lack of bulk inside my tall boots has made a world of difference in my comfort during long show days.
Stephanie Henderson As a fair-skinned rider who spends ten hours a day at the barn, the IceFil long-sleeve sun shirts have become my absolute staple for both protection and style. The material feels like butter against the skin and actually keeps me cooler than wearing a tank top, thanks to the moisture-wicking technology and ventilated mesh panels under the arms. I own them in at least six different seasonal colors now, and even after dozens of trips through the wash, the colors remain vibrant and the fabric hasn’t lost its shape or sun-shielding properties.
Trudy Harrison The search for the perfect show breech ended for me the moment I tried on the Tailored Sportsman low-rise front zip; the 2-inch wide waistband eliminates that annoying gapping and keeps my shirt tucked in through every jump. I particularly appreciate the durability of the Clarino suede knee patches, which provide just the right amount of grip without feeling restrictive or sticky against the saddle. Whether I’m in the local hunter ring or at a major national show, these breeches provide the classic, “Made in the USA” quality that gives me the confidence to focus entirely on my horse.
Tailored Sportsman FAQ
How do Tailored Sportsman breeches generally fit?
Most riders find that Tailored Sportsman breeches run true to size according to standard U.S. sizing, providing a structured yet flexible fit. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for the 100% cotton-blend styles which have less “give,” while the newer technical fabrics with four-way stretch are more forgiving.
What is the difference between the Trophy Hunter and Supreme Hunter models?
The Trophy Hunter is the brand’s modern flagship model, featuring a trendy 2-inch wide waistband, a Euro-seat design, and a variety of low-to-mid rise options suitable for the contemporary show ring. The Supreme Hunter is a more traditional “classic” model, often recognized for its specific “green-beige” hue and heavier fabric, catering to traditionalist hunter riders who prefer a more formal look.
How should I wash and care for my Tailored Sportsman apparel?
To preserve the life of the fabric and the integrity of the Clarino™ knee patches, you should wash your breeches inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Always fasten all Velcro and zippers before washing to prevent snagging, and strictly avoid the dryer; instead, hang them to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
What are the “sock bottoms” compared to “Velcro bottoms”?
Tailored Sportsman recently introduced “sock bottoms,” which replace the traditional Velcro ankle closures with a seamless, stretchy mesh material that eliminates bulk inside your tall boots. Many riders prefer this modern update because it prevents the “bunching” or rubbing that can occur with Velcro, though the classic Velcro option is still available for those who prefer a traditional adjustable fit.
Are there specific sizes for children and teens?
Yes, the brand offers a comprehensive range for kids and teens, including jodhpurs for younger riders and “Girls” sizes for transitioning equestrians. A helpful tip for sizing is that a Girls size 14 often shares a similar waist measurement with a Ladies size 24, but the Girls version will have a shorter inseam and a slimmer cut through the hip and thigh.
