FITTING
The vest is fairly long for maximum warmth in the saddle, and is even
slightly longer in the back. Check the
length and adjust before cutting out.
The fit of the tights can vary depending upon the percentage
stretch of the fabric used. Tights made
from very stretchy fabrics might have to be taken in or the crotch depth
reduced by shortening at the waist edge.
For tights with FULL
SEAT REINFORCEMENTS or CROTCH PADDING, we recommend making ONE
SIZE LARGER than specified by the size chart, but using the same crotch
depth. This compensates for the ease
lost when adding the seat or crotch pieces.
The sweatpants should be made longer to allow for adequate
fabric ease when mounting the horse.
Make the finished inseam (including cuff) 1-2 inches longer than your
regular pants inseam.
MATERIALS
The vest can be made from Malden Mills Polartec 200™, Malden
Mills Polartec 300™, Shearling Polartec™, or other similar fleece fabrics. The lightweight tights can be made from
nylon-spandex or cotton-spandex fabrics (such as used for aerobicwear) with at
least a 50% stretch both CROSSWISE and LENGTHWISE. This means that a 10” section of fabric will
stretch to at least 15”. If adding a
full seat reinforcement or crotch padding use the NEXT
LARGER SIZE. The stretch Polartec™
tights were designed for Malden Mills Stretch Polartec™ only! Make the riding sweatpants from cotton
sweatshirt fleece or similar fabrics.
Cuffs can be made from the sweatpants fabric or knit ribbing. Knee patches and full seat reinforcements
should be made from Ultrasuede™ or other synthetic suedes. The crotch padding for the tights should be
made from Malden Mills Polartec™ fabric.
Drawcord elastic is specified for both tights and sweatpants.
