Whether you’re riding a horse or strutting around town in boots and a floaty blouse these jodhpurs will give you comfort and style. This pair is made from a light brown wool which is strong and soft, not scratchy. Button closures on both sides of the waist and elasticated ankles make them easy to slide on. Featuring two deep pockets at front waist, internal cotton waistband and lightly padded crotch and inner calves. While the fabric is not elasticated there is enough give in the wool to be comfortable.
Adapted from Indian traditional churidar in the 1890s for playing polo, jodhpurs were popularised by English men for playing sports, driving cars and in the military. Quickly these practical pants were adopted by female horse and bike riders. From then on jodhpurs have been connected to increasing freedoms in women’s fashion and lifestyles, especially revolutionised after WWII.
