Um free rides are made in China. I still love them but fyi
I should have checked my tag. 
I assumed from their site.
Any recommendations for US based or EU based breeches?
Me too. I was visiting a friend in Tampa and her daughter raved about free rides so I bought a pair. I think they are designed here and all but making them in the states is pricey.
Stickyseat is US made - https://www.stickyseat.com/
They have great fabric, but I’m not a huge fan of the waistband.
The new Ruspari tights are also US made - https://www.ruespari.com/equestrian-legging
For Europe - I believe Pikeur, Animo & Ego7 are all manufactured in the EU.

I just discovered Performa Ride, and specifically their Evolve summer tights. Australian family business, Riding Warehouse stocks them in the US. Stretchy yoga-pant type fabric with just enough body to drape not cling, silicone full seat, two leg pockets, waistband that stays put, has belt loops but doesn’t “need” a belt. And very reasonably priced, $60-80. I’ll be ordering more pairs shortly.
