Breeches have traditionally been equestrians most popular choice of legwear dating back many centuries. It would be fair to say that aside from wearing perhaps a pair of skinny jeans, breeches and jodhpurs were the only choices available for horse riders up until a few years ago.  Over the years, fashion has evolved, and so has equestrian legwear.   Different fabrics that lend themselves to more fitting styles and a range of colour options to suit both every day and competition riding.  More recently we have seen the introduction of Riding Tights or Leggings from many leading retailers including Just Togs, which since being launched, have taken the equestrian world by storm. 

Just Togs the ever-evolving sister brand to GFS established in 1994 are well known for producing a quality range of jodhpurs and jodhpurs boots. As the years have rolled on Just Togs, have extended their range to provide quality show and fashion wear for horse riders. They aim to provide quality garments at affordable prices with something in their brand for every type of equestrian person, and the NEW Country Boots released in Spring 2020 are no different. With three new country boot styles, there's something for everyone, and each of the different designs is stylish, affordable and functional in a variety of situations.
