First impressions
I loved the traditional look and feel to these breeches from the moment I saw them.
Overview of performance
These breeches were amazing — the best I tested by a long shot! They fitted very well and were extremely comfortable. They were very warm and water repellent, as well as breathable. They washed really well and stayed looking great throughout the season as they became my go-to pair of hunting breeches.
Harriet’s likes and dislikes
I loved the look, feel and performance — really impressed all round — I wish I had more pairs to wear!
Verdict
*H&H APPROVED* I would definitely recommend these if you want a very smart, semi-traditional-looking pair of modern breeches.
