Delzani Riding Breeches & Tights Size Guide


Delzani Breeches & Riding Tights Size Guide
Fit isn’t just about numbers, it’s about confidence in motion. The right pair of Delzani breeches or riding tights should feel secure, supportive, and effortless in the saddle. Whether you prefer the refined structure of our Classic Fit Breeches or the freedom of our Stretch Fit Breeches and Riding Tights, this guide will help you find your perfect ride-ready fit.
This guide applies to all Delzani Stretch Fit Breeches (Brianna PRO, Luna PRO, Karla PRO) and Riding Tights (Pippa, Isabella), which share the same sizing system.
Our Classic Fit Breeches (Bianca, Kate, Regal, Sara) use a separate woven-size chart due to their more structured, tailored construction if you’re between sizes or prefer extra room in the thigh or waist, we recommend sizing up.
Classic Fit vs Stretch Fit: What’s the Difference?
- Classic Fit Breeches: Woven performance fabric that holds its shape and defines yours. Designed with belt loops and refined detailing for a traditional, professional look that never loses structure.
- Stretch Fit Breeches: Knitted high-performance fabric offering second-skin flexibility and all-day comfort. Features belt loops and breech styling with the soft feel of tights.
- Riding Tights: Streamlined, ultra-stretch design without belt loops. Built for breathability, training freedom, and relaxed comfort on and off the horse.
Good to know: The Stretch Fit Breeches and Riding Tights share the same size chart below.
Classic Fit Breeches use a separate woven-size chart to accommodate their firmer fabric structure.
How to Measure for Stretch Fit Breeches & Riding Tights
Use a soft tape measure over what you’d normally wear under your breeches. Keep it snug but comfortable for the most accurate result.
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline, just above your hip bones.
Thigh
Measure around the fullest part of your upper thigh while standing naturally.
Total Length
Measure from your natural waistline down the outer leg to your ankle bone.
Classic Fit Breeches Size Chart
Our Classic Fit Breeches are woven and structured, designed to sit close through the waist and thigh while maintaining a polished shape. Because woven fabrics stretch less than knitted ones, this chart accommodates a firmer fit. If you prefer a relaxed feel, size up once.

Why Fit Matters in Riding Breeches
Well-fitted horse riding breeches and tights do more than flatter they connect you to your ride. A secure waistband, balanced silicone grip, and contoured shaping help you stay centred and confident in every stride. Because when your gear fits like it’s made for you, it is.
