...Due to the fact that I ride several horses, I do own several pairs of jodphurs. I must be honest and admit that I do ride in jeans but these need to be thin and stretchy preferably. Jodphurs are made specifically with horse riding in mind for comfort and durability, so why do I keep wearing jeans?! I tend to wear what is comfortable and functional. Horse riding does create patches of wear and I have recently invested in several new pairs of jodphurs. I am going to endeavour to wear these from now on. instead of jeans.
