I mean, it’s very easy to say things that aren’t true on the internet, but that’s not true: https://www.samshield.com/en/content/15-workshop.
@Tha_Ridge - The breeches are made in China. I’ve seen several websites say they are made in France but the tags on mine definitely say China.
Some of the breeches are made in France, but I was referring to the helmets.
I should have specified, but thought it was implied based off what this thread is about (breeches, not helmets).
My $400 samshield breeches absolutely say “made in China” on the tag, otherwise I wouldn’t have made the claim.
Nevertheless, I really like them. It’s just a shame IMO especially for that staggering price for pants.
Well, that’s lame. How do you determine which ones are made in France before purchasing? I have the Adele which is arguably their most popular model, and made in China. Or at least my pair
Just wanted to update, because I’m sure everyone was waiting with great anticipation
The Strucks came and were like, really short in the length and the rise and they were pulling down almost immediately. I dunno where I went wrong with them, exactly, but the pair I bought were NOT for me. Luckily I did find a pair of Romfh Evelyns at a local tack store, and even though I thought I hated silicone full seat, these are amazing, stretchy, fit well and honestly I forgot I was even wearing breeches today while riding. They’re perfect. Random and unfortunate because they are very limited in the color selection and seem to be being phased out…but at least I found something that finally works.
Thanks again everyone for chiming in!
