I agree with all of the sizing info, however not all styles have fake pockets. The slash pockets in the back of the Jennas are real and fit an iPhone perfectly

Oops sorry for the misinformation!
Also I had no trouble with discomfort from the zippers on the legs, but I can easily see that it could be an issue.
Actually, for streetwear, the zippers look awesome. I don’t like the feel of something so tight around my ankles when I’m not riding, so these would be nice. Now, if it’s uncomfortable to ride with the zipper, it kind of defeats the purpose of having streetwear breeches.
I will look forward to more reports, COTHers!

hum - unless this person is really short - they look too long to fit well under boots:

Yuck, those are really ugly, and unflattering too.
I’m 5’9" and that’s about how the length fits mine. Do NOT expect these breeches to be as flattering as a more tailored breech, the fabric is much stretchier and is definitely clingy.

What is exactly is a “tailored breech”? I’m thin (extremely thin legs and calves), would these breeches not be flattering on me?
It’s like a textbook example of how to make thighs look wide and legs look short/stumpy, where the seam and superflous detailing is placed.
These breeches are obviousley made for the fashionista who wants the “I’m a Jumper Rider” look.
So I gave in and ordered two pairs (the military and jean color) with the promo code it was a good deal ($225 for two pairs including shipping, etc). I’m not a big fan on the Equine Couture (which seem to be popular) and I’ve been needing some new schooling breeches.
ETA: I will let everyone know my feedback and try and include some pictures.

By tailored I mean something that depends more on the cut than the stretchy fabric to fit nicely. Tailored Sportsmen, for example, are not clingy the way Gho Dhos are.

You can see in the second picture how the seam pulls across the top of the leg. The breeches are not so tight that they are stretched out of shape, either.
These are really TIGHTS, not breeches, correct?! They look like tights.
They are breeches but the material is more like that of tights, if that makes sense? It is a very stretchy fabric and they feel more like a tight. However, they do have a zipper and button the way regular breeches do.
I got my GhoDho breeches today in the mail (super fast delivery!). They fit me great. I bought the navy/jean pair and military pair. The military pair were a bit slimmer and longer. I bought a size up (30 from 28). They are super stretchy, so I probably could have squeezed into the 28 (waist may have been tight though). I haven’t ridden in them yet, I will give my review after I ride in them Sunday. The green/military pair was longer, right at my ankle. They are definitely made for tall and slim riders. I think I looked more flattering in them then some of the models on the website.
PS. They are definitely “jegging” like with light weight and stretchy fabric.

How’s the zipper feel under your riding boots? Thanks for the update!
I’m sorry, I really don’t understand why anyone would want to wear these. I’m somewhat conservative with my dress both in and out of the saddle, and I would never have a reason to wear something like this. I’ll stick to my side zip TS over here…

I rode in the breeches yesterday. No problem with zipper under my half chaps. I couldn’t even feel them when I rode. The breeches were super comfortable to ride in. I also like the type of fabric seems to repel dirt, so even after feeding and cleaning stalls my breeches still look clean!

I agree… and $100 for riding tights kind of blows my mind. Irideons are around $50-60 and far more flattering.
I don’t usually chime in on the fashion threads, but these breeches are :eek:.
