Jodhpurs and breeches are riding trousers that are close fitting around the lower leg with reinforced areas around the inside knee. Jodhpurs end at the ankles and are suitable to be worn with jodhpur boots or long riding boots, whereas breeches end half way down the calf and are suitable to be worn with long riding boots only.

Jodhpurs are named after the ancient city of Jodhpur in Rajasthan in North India where they originated and where polo was a popular royal pastime. The riding trousers used became popular with the British and became known as Jodhpurs.

Jodhpurs and breeches are available in a variety of colours and fabrics ranging from the classic cream jodhpurs and breeches to coloured cord or denim jodhpurs and breeches. Jodhpurs and breeches should be tight fitting but comfortable allowing the rider to bend the knee without them cutting into the back of the leg.
