    So typically Lexi,

    Online companie's breech fittings go by your waist and inseam measurements in inches.

    However, like any clothing item, that is a very basic standard that does not necessarily ensure a good fit, as it does not take things like hip flex, calf width, and seat rise into account.

    As a very tall male rider, I have found it very hard, and I am sure it's even harder for rare sized women to find breeches that fit, without a proper fitting done.

    I actually lost $140.00 on a pair of show breeches from an online Company, because they didn't allow returns. The waist measurement was right, and the length was close, but the seat rise was so shallow, if I hiked them up to my waist - let's just say, I wouldn't be a male anymore ;)

    So I dunno, thus far I am pretty unimpressed with online tack shops as far as clothing goes.

    I even have constantly been instructed you upload 20 on your pants length and that's what length your breeches are. I positioned on a 26 Breech and my pants are length 6's. once you're having themes looking the ultimate length flow to a tack save and attempt them on.
