Saddlecraft’s Flamenco jodhpurs are ideal for active riders who want to look smart while riding and working around the yard
Made from 96% cotton and 4% Lycra, Saddlecraft’s Flamenco jodhpurs stretch in four directions, providing comfort both in and out of the saddle.
The jodhpurs come with buttons on the inside of the ankle area and a removable elasticated strip to prevent them from riding up.
Flamenco jodhpurs are available in a range of sizes from 24″ to 32″ waist. The choice of colours include plain blue (cost around £40), grey melange (around £50) and blue, green and beige check (around £55).
Tester’s comments
“I found the jods extremely comfortable to wear, and an number of people commented on how smart they looked,” said tester Carol Phillips.

“I thought they fitted really well, and found the outside zip pocket far more useful than an inside pocket. I particularly liked the grey melange colour, which I think is really stylish.
“The removable elasticated strap was a good idea, but didn’t need to use it as they were such a good fit. I was worried the buttons would be uncomfortable against my ankle but I didn’t notice them at all.
“I have used the jodhpurs regularly without half chaps during the past three months. They are starting to bobble a little on the inside of the calf, but have worn and washed well apart from this.
“I would definitely invest in another pair and think they are ideal for the summer months.”
