Buying from Dover Saddlery?

i'm going to be ordering some riding breeches from there, my mother says it's been around for a while, but i was wondering if any one has bought from them.

here's what i'm probably going to buy

Update:

i'm like the black a taupe, theses won't be for showing, so i'm not worried about colour, i just don't want a light colour that dirt and stains will show on.

    I buy from Dover sometimes but if you are just buying breeches then you can try another store with more variety and cheaper prices if you'd like. Dover has a very nice variety of clothes but if you can't find what you want there then you could try Horse Town, Atlanta Saddlery, Snooty Fox or "The hitching post" website(AMAZING prices with GREAT quality) but I bought those same pants but I think from either Horse Town or "The hitching post" and they are good for winter riding but don't always fit correctly if you wear tall boots.

    Dover is pretty much the top saddlery online to buy English horse things from. They're very reputable. You're fine buying from them. I've never bought anything from them personally, but my local saddlery carries practically EVERYTHING (I've seriously never gone there and left with nothing in my hands, you can find EVERYTHING there), so I kind of have a reason to not buy from them... They have good prices, they're reputable, and they've got good service.

    I like tuff-rider breeches. Devon-Aire breeches are my favorite, but tuff-rider breeches are nice.

    i love dover but somtimes stateline has the same stuff cheaper as for the breeches i really dilike the wat tuff rider's fit. i think the are to loose in the legs and the croch hangs really low but they do last FOREVER!

    that'ss great, personally i like the tailored sportsman but...... Dover is great... i love it there they are great and i have a few tuff riders and they don't have belt loops which i like to ride with belts. and honestly with the tan you look more professional and you just learn to stay clean. I must say everything really is washed clean just fine.

    Good luck!!

    I have found Dover's to be a great place to purchase tack. Good customer service. Sometimes a little slow to ship.

    Dover is an incredibly reputable and popular horse supply source. They are the go to horse source for English riders.

    Also, I have those breeches in the knee patch and love them. Very impressed with the durability and quality for price of the tuff rider brand. I've washed mine a million times and they still look good enough to show in. They really aren't low rise as a pair of low rise jeans would be, but not as high waisted as traditional fit breeches. They are just right for riding though, I really like the cut.

    Rest easy, sounds like a wise purchase--a reputable store and product.

    **Not sure what color you are going for, but fyi In the pic, taupe looks khaki, but I have seen it in person and it looks more like a warm grey, though it is kinda hard to describe. A cool color for sure, but definitely looks different than the sample pc.

    Those are pretty good riding pants i own the same pair only the knee patch version. the thing i like best about that kind is that they dont rip even if you ride through thorns
