Derriere Equestrian: Combining breeches and undies

Combining breeches and undies - why comfort is key

Wychanger Saddlery, based in Burlescombe, Devon, is a thriving bricks-and-mortar and online saddlery stocking a multitude of leading equestrian brands. The team is looking forward to showcasing the new DE Sportief Bra to its customers - "It's exactly the type of high-performance product that our female customers like," says the store's Jade Turner - and also stocks the full range of Derriere riding undergarments. The Team at Wychanger Barton Saddlery and Inch's Saddlery, owned by Roy Male, have been successful stockists of the full Derriere Equestrian Range since the company launched in 2014. The staff adore the product range, as do their buyers all over the UK.

When visiting these key events, this is your perfect opportunity to meet with the teams from: Derriere Equestrian, Wychanger Barton Saddlery and Inch's Saddlery.

"Velcro cuffs are 'out' now"

When asked what optimises a rider's performance in the saddle, Jade says being comfortable is key. "No matter how much we spend on our breeches, if they aren't comfy , we just don't wear them; ideally you should try breeches or jodhs on first, and make sure that they feel right for you, especially around the waist - do you like high, mid or low rise? -make sure they sit comfortably for you, according to your shape. Also, the seat - I'm not the biggest fan of a full suede seat, unless it's 'three way stretch' as a minimum. Ankle wise, we recommend an elasticated soft stretch or Flexi Cuff as being the most comfortable, as seen on the Treviso Training Breeches from Derriere. Velcro cuffs are 'out' now; there are much comfier options!"

Eradicating seam-lines

"If you're looking for a white competition breech, then our one number one tip would be to check that the fabric is thick enough not to be see-through. You can then compliment the breeches with a nice, seam free pair of Derriere undies, of course! Our best sellers from the Derriere range here at Wychanger Saddlery are the DE Performance Padded Panty - these are designed to eradicate seam-lines visible through breeches, and they also ensure no rubbing, chaffing or abrasions are created, due to stitched seams. Colour-wise, white is the most popular colour of these briefs, as it is so discreet," Jade concludes.

The team at Wychanger and Inch's are very much looking forward to the new lines added to the Derriere Equestrian Collection for the new season. With the focus on climate control technology and the new sports tops, skins and competition body.
