For years, riders have gravitated toward silicone-grip leggings and breeches and prioritising stretch, lightness, and modern performance. But lately, something unexpected is happening in the equestrian world: suede grip is making a comeback. Riders are rediscovering the timeless stability, durability, and elegance that only suede-seat breeches can offer. It’s a quiet revival… one rooted in tradition, feel, and connection with the saddle.
As equestrian fashion evolves, suede has stepped forward again, not as a trend, but as a return to something familiar and reliable. Smooth where it needs to be, grippy where it counts, and universally flattering.
This renewed appreciation for suede has inspired a new hybrid in modern riding apparel: the Charlotte Suede Breggings.
The Comeback of Suede Grip
Why are riders reaching for suede-seat breeches again?
Because suede offers something uniquely grounded—a natural, consistent grip that supports riders during transitions, flatwork, schooling sessions, and long days in the saddle. It brings back the traditional breech aesthetic while complementing the needs of today’s rider, who demands both performance and comfort.
Suede adds a touch of heritage, a sense of authenticity, and a classic silhouette that never truly went out of style. Now, with the evolution of fabrics and fit, suede can be enjoyed again, without the stiffness or weight of old-school breeches.
