I love my Tailored Sportsman breeches. I loved the fit of the front zip, but because I don't usually tuck my shirt in, I would get a pinch everytime I sat down. I returned these for the side zip Tailored Sportsman breeches.

Ok, I can't speak to durability because I sadly had to return these breeches. What I really liked: The fabric is nice and the mid-rise is the PERFECT height for a short-waisted person such as myself - regular rise breeches come up to my bra (ok, not quite, but almost!), while the low rise breeches gap at the back. The mid-rise is the perfect compromise. The euro seat is a nice style update. The tan color is perfect for the show pen. Light enough to be more modern than the green-beige, but dark enough to be slimming and hide those inevitable dirt smudges. I really really really wanted to love these breeches! Unfortunately, they just were not flattering on me. I'm 5'6" and very hourglass shaped. I wear a 32R in most breeches. Unfortunately, I think these are shaped for somebody with a straighter build. They were a little big in the waist, snug in the thighs, and made my butt look...square-ish. I realize I don't have a breech model's body, but I just couldn't get over how odd these made me look. The Pikeur Ciara side-zip breech looks great on me...just not so great on my wallet...but unfortunately I can't make myself like how any of the Tailored's fit...and at this point, I've tried them ALL! (Thank goodness for SmartPak's liberal return/exchange program for sized items!)
I would note, the front-zip version of this breech does fit slightly higher than the side-zip version.

These are the best breeches I have ever worn. The fit is great, the material is the perfect weight and feel. Like some other reviewers, I also have a curvy figure and have no problem with these breeches. My straighter figured riding friends also wear these and love them. I've yet to meet anyone they didn't fit. These are the only breeches I wear now. More colors would be great!

These mid rise pants are the best! Not to low and not to high. Perfect fit especially if you have curves. They wash like a dream, and are perfect for showing or schooling....love the euro seat.

I am a curvy girl- no question about it. I am 5'8", 155 lbs and these breeches FIT every curve. I wear a 30 R and my show pants are a 32R because they are light colored and cling a bit more. Honestly, this breech is unstoppable! The fabric is soooo comfortable and fidgure flattering...if ya catch my drift! :) Also, the wide, 2 inch waistband and front zipper and give me great shape and tummy tucking appeal. I really couldn't be any happier with the fit, feel and quality of the mid rise, front zip TS Trohpy Hunter breech! The price is much more appealing than my other $300+ favorites (Pikuer Cara).
* I also like the FITS Beka but I have to buy the XL because the waist is too high and tight-- but GREAT fabric there as well!-- even though I wear a jean size 8-10.
I hope this info is helpful to other gals with dangerous curves out there in search of a great fitting breech!! xoxoxoxxo*
I can't wait to see the Mid Rise TS Trophy Hunter in some other fun colors!?- like PLUM!? These are my favorite for their excellent value, durability and shape retrention. Teh Euro seat is awesome, too!!
Thank you Smart Pak for your amazing customer service & FREE returns that keeps me coming back year after year.

Embarrassingly, I have been riding in the same few pairs of breeches for 10 years, so I decided to finally get a new pair. I was a bit hesitant to spend so much money on a pair of riding pants, especially because I tend to be unhappy with the riding pants that are available these days; however, I LOVE these. They have a great and flattering fit. They also fit true to size in the waist and legs. They're not too tight at all. I personally like the velcro bottom also. They fit well in my boots, and I had no issues with riding up. They also fit perfectly over my thick winter riding socks. They are also very warm, so there's no having to worry about wearing these during the colder months. I am extremely happy with these, and I will be investing in buying a few more in the future. I just got them so I can't really speak to the durability, but they seem well-made, so I think they will do just fine!

Super comfy breeches. However, I wish they would come up with the elastic leg, instead of the velcro.
Cannot tell you about durability yet. So far, so good.

The Tailored Sportsman Trophy Hunter Mid-rise breeches are the most comfortable breeches I have ever worn. They fit perfectly, although a little long for petites (who cares-they are worn under tall boots or half chaps!). They also wash AND dry well with no shrinkage. These breeches are a perfect weight for hot, muggy Virginia summers and are attractive enough for horse shows.

I love these breeches - they are cool and comfortable and fit very well. The rise isn't super low, maybe 1 inch below the navel. Shirts stay tucked in well. Easy to machine wash - I have hung them to dry and machine dried them, both without problems. I have these breeches in a few colors and they seem to hold up well with riding 3-4 days a week.

These breeches are great! My only complaint is that the pockets aren't deeper. I like to keep a tube of chapstick or other lip product with sunscreen on hand, but it always falls out of these shallow pockets.

Mid-rise fit is wonderful, material is nice retains stretch and comfort through washings. Nice color choices. Wish they would add a green/beige in addition to the tan that is offered for show days. I have 2 pair now and plan to buy more.

After years of wondering why everyone raves about Tailored Sportsman breeches, I finally understand all the hype!! These breeches fit me like a glove and offer the support and compression I like to have in the saddle. The material is top notch, no "see throughs" with this brand, and it still light enough that they're not too hot. I love all the colors they are offered in and plan to buy more! High quality, great construction, will definitely last me years.

I bought these for my 14-year-old daughter, who is relatively new to riding. She has tried on several brands of breeches and this was the only brand that fit her. She is more a fan of the low-rise, but that is personal preference. The mid-rise are the same pant, just a different fit.
I will continue to buy Tailored Sportsman breeches for her.

These are great - I'm no longer tugging them up constantly, like I was with the lowrise version. These are beautiful breeches, great fabric and fit. Now if only Smartpak would start to carry more colors, I'd be in heaven!
Or if TS would drop their prices some, that would also be a help - I'd buy four pairs if they were around $50....

These breeches are the most comfortable breeches I have ever owned. They fit like jeans and the 4-way stretch makes them wear well. The mid rise is is very comfortable and stylish. They are great for schooling and appropriate for shows (I couldn't tell a difference between these and the more expensive ones in my local tack store).

A very flattering breech in a nice fabric. Fabric seems durable and repels stains.
This rise is perfect for me - even though I usually like low rise, the regular Trophy Hunters are cut a little too low in back. These are "just right". My only wish is that they were offered in more colors! I would buy them all.

My daughter loves the Trophy Hunter, but the low rise was not a good fit for me....tried these mid rise and loved them. Only an inch higher, but it works. Cut slightly higher in back, so very comfie. Lightweight fabric feels great If you were avoiding the low rise, try these.
