The navy one is a Baker pad! I got it monogrammed at a local shop.

stuff for marisa!!

ok so the half chaps are ovation size small, they are 17 inches long just flat but they will probably scrunch up when you put them on so they might be perfect for you? and my calf is like 12.5 inches and they were never tight on you, so they should be okay! this what they look like:

and there are 3 pairs of breeches!

2 of the breeches are both boot cut, so they aren't tight on the bottom which sucks but you might be able to bring them in by sewing or something? also they are both like spandex-ish material

the first pair is brown and from irideon riding wear, size small. i wanted you to see what they looked like on me i'm usually a size 4 in pants so yeah lol these are like a little bit high waisted, and also a little bit longer and i'm 5'6" but i have a long torso i think they would be fine on you!

ok the next pair is black from kerrits size small, and they are like super duper high-waisted (idk why?) they go above my belly button, and they are also a little bit long but they comfy as hell so

ok the last pair is like normal without the boot cut thing, they are devon-aire and idk what size but they fit me fine! they are tan but i have to warn you they are corduroy material?? like they have lines??? have no clue why but they work fine! they also have front zip while the others dont

so for all the pictures i'm wearing a brandy melville shirt which a teeny bit cropped and i was able to tuck it in fine and i'm wearing a thick belt (they all have belt buckles!!!!!) so idk i'm thinking $10 for everything? maybe omg also my room is really messy and the lighting is terrible omg but i the chaps smell like a mix between leather conditioner and poop but i cleaned them hardcore and vacuumed them and used a tooth brush and everything and i will wash the breeches for you!!! i also have other stuff if you want a green (like christmas tree not ugly green) saddle pad and tons of helmets! so yeah

do you guys know any tips on how to see a distance? I have a really hard time with it and always end up going really long or short ://

blackstirrups replied to your post: Can someone help me find a new theme? ...

do you mean a theme like mine or more basic? mine has the captions and tags but i just took the html out

Yea, yours is good. Last time I went back to one column people freaked out? I would like to keep my centered top though.

I've been looking into those red horze ladies active knee patch breeches for a year bc they're so vibrant and i kinda want to ask for some for my birthday, how do you like them? reviews i saw said they run long.

Yeah they're quite long but I have really long legs so it's perfect. They don't have leather/suede knee patches which kinda sucks but I'm just schooling in them so I don't really care. And they have two pockets which is pretty fab

[bitstobreeches]

i'm actually looking at half chaps, do you have any idea how to measure/fit those? the ones i want have two different size charts on two different websites so i'm really confused

ahh okays. well i know less about half chaps except I know that they’re supposed to be really snug, but not so tight that you can’t zip and that they fall like tall boots after a while, so they’ll get shorter once you break them in and the calf will stretch a bit too. Can you go try them on at a tack shop near you?
