Tailored Sportsman Size, Fit, & Style Guide
Farm HouseEquestrians at competitive levels, and all levels, can’t just run to the mall to pick up their horse-riding apparel. Riders need clothing designed specifically for the fit, movement, comfort, and polished appearance required in the saddle.
Finding a brand that fits well, looks great, and holds up to barn life can feel overwhelming. But if you’re looking for a company with a long history of producing high-quality equestrian apparel, Tailored Sportsman is a great place to start.
Known especially for its iconic breeches, Tailored Sportsman has remained a favorite in the hunter and jumper world for decades. Today, the collection includes both the classic Trophy Hunter styles riders know and love and newer lightweight TechLight breeches designed for a more modern feel.
This Tailored Sportsman size, fit, and style guide covers some of our favorite current breeches, jodhpurs, and riding shirts, along with sizing information to help you find the right fit.
Why Tailored Sportsman?
Chances are, if you’re an equestrian, you’ve heard of the Tailored Sportsman. The brand has been around for more than 50 years and has built a loyal following thanks to its unmistakable style, flattering fit, and reputation for quality.
At the start, Tailored Sportsman focused on one thing: breeches. Even today, that’s still what the brand is best known for.
Over the years, Tailored Sportsman has expanded into other equestrian apparel, including sun shirts, belts, jodhpurs, and accessories. But whether you’re looking at their newest TechLight breeches or one of their classic Trophy Hunter styles, the Tailored Sportsman look remains unmistakably polished.
Another thing riders love? Color!
In addition to traditional show-ring colors, Tailored Sportsman is famous for releasing seasonal schooling colors that make it very tempting to own more than one pair.
Tailored Sportsman Breeches
The right pair of breeches is an essential part of your riding wardrobe. Breeches should fit snugly through the seat, thigh, and leg while still allowing enough stretch for you to move comfortably in the saddle.
Tailored Sportsman breeches are particularly well known for their close, tailored silhouette. Traditional Trophy Hunter breeches tend to have a more structured feel than many of today’s athletic-style breeches, giving riders that crisp, classic hunter-ring look.
The newer TechLight fabric gives riders another option.
TechLight breeches maintain the recognizable Tailored Sportsman fit and styling but use a lighter, stretchier technical fabric. This makes them an especially nice choice for warm-weather riding or riders who love the Tailored Sportsman look but prefer a softer, more flexible feel.
How Do Tailored Sportsman Breeches Fit?
Tailored Sportsman breeches generally have a close, form-fitting silhouette through the hip, thigh, knee, and calf.
Your breeches should feel fitted without pinching or restricting your movement. You should still be able to comfortably sit, post, jump, bend, and change your hip angle in the saddle.
Traditional Tailored Sportsman breeches tend to have a firmer, more structured feel, while the newer TechLight breeches offer more stretch and flexibility.
Riders can also choose between different rises depending on the style. Mid-rise breeches sit a little higher and provide additional coverage through the waist, while low-rise styles create the classic lower-waisted Tailored Sportsman fit many riders have worn for years.
Regular and long lengths are available in select styles. When offered, the long length gives taller riders additional length through the leg.
Tailored Sportsman Breeches Colors
One of the most recognizable things about Tailored Sportsman breeches is the huge variety of colors.
Traditional tan remains a show-ring staple, while schooling breeches appear in everything from understated neutrals to bright seasonal shades.
And if you’ve been a Tailored Sportsman fan for a while, you already know the rule: if you love a seasonal color, don’t wait too long!
Colors change frequently, and many limited shades disappear once they sell through. That’s part of the fun of collecting Tailored Sportsman breeches, but it also means your favorite color may not come back next season.
Most Popular Tailored Sportsman Women’s Breeches
Tailored Sportsman offers women’s breeches in several rises, fabrics, grip styles, and colors. Whether you love the traditional feel of a Trophy Hunter breech or want the lighter stretch of TechLight fabric, there’s a style for just about every Tailored Sportsman fan.
