Breeches vs Breggings vs Competition Leggings
Breeches, breggings or competition leggings? Definitions, full-seat vs knee grip, show rules on white breeches and when to wear each.
Designed by a professional show jumper — fit, fabric and finish decided in the saddle, not on a spec sheet.
“Distinction” is a grey long-sleeve women's competition show shirt with a white stand-up collar and white cuffs, the contrast that shows at the neck and wrist once a jacket goes on. The collar closes with a short front zip, and the stretch knit (72% nylon, 28% spandex) holds a close line for show jumping, dressage and clinics.
A grey long-sleeve competition show shirt with a white stand-up collar and white cuffs — the contrast that shows at the neck and wrist once a jacket goes on. The collar closes with a short front zip for a clean, formal neckline, and a round Valerie Equestrian logotype on the sleeve is the only ornament.
The technical stretch knit — 72% nylon with 28% spandex — moves with you and returns to shape, holding a close, tidy line through the shoulders and waist. Wear it under a navy, black or grey competition show jacket for the ring, or on its own for clinics and training days when you want to look finished without a jacket. It pairs naturally with white “Stride” competition leggings or beige “Impulsion” competition breeches; for hot show days, see the short-sleeve “Purity”.
