Both these pair of breeches are in very good to excellent condition. No wear or stains. Kerrits. They are size large. The microcord knee-patch in *gasp* Butter color. They are plenty long so I think they may be a true Long. Pull-up style with belt loops. They are a bear to get over my hips but fit fine once they are on. The 'slenderizing V panel' has no stretch so getting them on and off is the issue. Love them once they are on. The fabric is really nice and I would have been sold on these if it weren't for the V panel. They are in very good shape except a few (like 5 or 6) of the stitches around the waist have popped from getting them on and off. No stains or wear. Dublin, they have some kind of stick-tight full seat. You can't buy that kind any more. They are a 32 waist. They are a structured breech in a tan color with front zipper and belt loops. Excellent condition. No wear, and I'll have to check, but I think no stains either. If there are stains, it's where my half-chaps rubbed. Excellent for hilly trail rides. I would sell both pair for $25 each. I paid $60 on sale for the Kerrits. I think the Dublins were about the same. I'll pay the shipping if it's around $5. I can get some pictures if anybody is interested. Thanks for looking!

I think I'm interested in the Dublins. Need to check and see what size I need but that sounds about right due to my hips.

Here are the breeches, Kim. www.vtosaddlery.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=DSGFSPI guess mine are the 'Stone' color. As I recall, when these breeches were discontinued, these small sizes were all that anybody had left in stock. LOL And to think I used to have a 26 inch waist. As far as the grip factor, if you are coming off, you are coming off. These won't stick you to the seat like glue. I found them comfortably 'non-slippery' compared to knee patch.

I checked the Dublins last night and they do have stains around the calf from half-chaps. It's on the inside/lower back. More on one leg than the other. (Think I ride heavy on one side? LOL)
They are also Longs.

Longs are good, I'm tall! sort of. Still need to measure and make sure, but I'm 99.9% sure I want them. I'm not too concerned about the stains, I just need schooling breeches!
