Jodhpurs - does anyone wear them in USA or Europe?

I am British, raised in South Africa and am now in California.

While no one wears those military style breeches anymore (so sad, they would do wonders for hiding my thighs!), people in Europe, Africa and USA wear both Jodhpurs and breeches. Children wear jodhpurs and adults wear both, depending on what boots they are wearing. Jodhpurs are commonly worn with short boots and breeches tall boots. For the most part the cuts are pretty much the same, although as breeches are aimed mostly at women and men not children they can be cut a little more generously.

Hunt jodhpurs today are very similar to breeches, but meant to be worn with paddock boots rather than the tall hunt boots. They have a strap that runs under the foot to hold the jodhpurs in place. Traditionally, only children under twelve can show in jodhpurs.

The jodhpurs you mention are the old-style jodhpurs, and yes, they are no longer commonly used by horseback riders.

Saddleseat people still show in jodhpurs, although these are known as Kentucky jodhpurs. These are longer, and flared at the bottom, to provide the illusion of a long leg.

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.

You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net/

I ONLY ride in breeches. I think they are alot more comfortable then jeans and very classy looking if you have a nice polo shirt tucked in with them. If I rode western then I of course would not use them, but for jumping, they don't rub the inside of your knees that jeans sometimes do. I also think the pinstripe are the cutest. I don't have any right now, but will someday.

Over here, jodphurs are the same as breeches (stretchy, knee patches) only instead of having a tight to your ankle bottom they flare out and usually have a cuff. Those style jodphurs you mentioned, I didn't know those existed? I have never seen them except in really old movies.

I WEAR THEM!!!! my favourite pair is ones that are lilac with pictures of giraffe on them. i was actually wearing them today!
