OMGiH, a friend told me about this company that has the Horka brand of breeches from Holland! They are plus sized and FABULOUS, I have some Horkas and I loooooooooooove them:

I am ordering some today. I love this brand. This supplier carries cool stuff you won't find everywhere.

Edited to say that they have $30 off for the next month! The coupon code for the kneepatch is FLX and for the Full Seat is FLX2.

:D

Can you tell me more about the breeches? Are they stretchy? Are they comfy?

The Horkas I have are very comfy and stretchy without being that flimsy stretchy that shows, ah, dimples and orange peel. I love them. Edited to say this fabric is like sweatpants under the fabric, with 8% lycra, thick enough not to see panty that easily, not so thick that summers are unbearable, and the breathe very well and are four-way stretch. I love them. They are lovely breeches, not like those orange-peelish pullons.

Thank you Coreene!! :) This is very HP of me I know, but I wonder what color the knee patches are on the tan, and what color of tan?? If anyone knows, please post!

Clueless, because tan is still too light for my fat ass. But I bet if you email they'd let you know.

Horka has done "regular" sizes forever and I have a Horka jacket at home too I think. Or is it BR? Acutally, I think I have both. Because that Call Of The Wild when I shop in the mother country and all that ...

You just gave me a good laugh this morning.

And trust me--I'm laughing with you, not laughing at you...:lol:

:D I have been on a fabulous diet since late June and have lost quite a lot of weight, but tan breeches are still only on the horizon. But the breeches in chocolate color? Snapped up a pair right away! So I have moved past Only Black And No Other Color. ;)

They arrived yesterday already and they are DIVINE!!! I got the chocolate colored full seats, and they are just lovely. Very rich chi-chi color brown, gorgeous and I can't wait to ride in them.

I'm looking for a fabulous diet - can you share any information with us?

I refuse to wear breeches that feel like knitted fabric. Only regular woven cloth for me with a bit of stretch.

Are these knitted or woven?

What is the full seat material they call McCormick (R)/Nubuck like?

Vineyridge has her rules, I have mine and that is that the leather needs to be real or feel (and stick) like real leather. No Clarino for me!

Since they don't offer long sizes, do the regulars really run longer than normal? Nothing worse than having to choose between either getting one's circulation cut off around midcalf or having the crotch hang down!

In my case, it's woven for two reasons--not so hot in the summer; and hides the flab a lot better than any knit. I just hate clingy fabric when it's over 90 degrees outside. I still yearn for the old woven cotton breeches with flares at the top. I guess that's one reason Tally Ho makes my favorites--although the patches are Clarion, alas.

Now about that diet????

They are knit. Very forgiving over the orange peel. The seat part is not leather, feels a lot like it but not totally like it.

Re the diet, I am doing the HCG diet but not the drill instructor insane version. It is 700 calories per day; two carb, two veg, two protein and two fruit off a very strict list, plus at least 10 glasses of water. It is fabulous. And yes, if I had just done the 700 calories without the HCG, I would have lost for a while as well, but I would have been much less jolly to be around.

Oliver is enchanted. I am down three sizes.

Edited to say that I usually wear talls but I got the regular and they are fine. I love them!
