In Search of a Pair of Breeches? Check out the Romfh
International Fullseat Breech!
I don't know if this happens to everyone else, but all my
horse stuff seems to wear out at once. This year, my breeches all died so I went on a mission to find another pair. To be
honest, this is a chore for me. I am very picky about my breeches. When I find a
pair and brand I like I will stick with them and not
consider trying something else. However, I realized this year my preferred
brand was no longer holding up to daily barn activities. For example, I get
holes in the knees in a couple months. I decided that I wanted to try a new
brand.As a university student, price is a concern. I want quality, but I don't
want to spend 2-300$ on a pair of breeches. I also want material that is
durable, washes well and can hide dirt (every time I brush a horse I seem to
get covered in it!)
Romfh clothing has been on my
radar for a few months now.
I have been envying their Sarafina white full seat
breeches for shows. This breech style was a bit out of my price range for
everyday breeches, so I decided
to see what other styles of breeches Romfh had.
In the end, I felt that the Romfh International Fullseat breeches would
be a good choice for me. This breech, at $140 US, was a more affordable price
for me. The material was also advertised as cool in the summer and very
durable. Reviews I had read stated that these breeches hardly ever looked dirty
and came clean very easily. From pictures, I also loved the style of the
international breeches (the thickness of the belt loops, the pockets, and the
romfh logo locations really drew me in). There was also a wide range of colours
to choose from (mocha, dove grey, black, white, beige, sesame, and dark pearl).
After
careful deliberation, I decided to order a pair. As I am in Canada, I had to
wait about a month and a half to receive my package. Although, a very long
wait, it was definitely worth it! I love the material. It is thin enough to be
cool on hot days, but thick enough that it doesn't show "everything"
(you know like pesky underwear lines or the colour of your undies J). The mocha colour I ordered also hides the dirt very well
and I find the colour and fit of the breeches to be very slimming.
My only complaint is that this
style of breech does fit a bit tight. I would recommend buying a size larger
than you normally wear. The material is very stretchy and forgiving, so after a
few days of wear they have stretched and are more comfortable around the waist
(of course I realize I could have avoided this mishap by trying a pair on but
Romfh is not easily found in Canadian tack stores yet, and I am at least an
hour from any tack shops).
Overall, I am definitely pleased
with my purchase. So pleased in fact, I have another pair of Romfh breeches on
the way. This time I am trying the champion style as I fell in love with the
anthracite colour!
If you are looking for a quality
breech with a reasonable price tag, I suggest you check out Romfh
(www.romfh.com). I bet you will become a Romfh groupie too!
