Agree the rise and waistband shape to suit the rider’s movement. Consider how the waistband sits in and out of the saddle, the level of coverage, and the contour through the waist to prevent gaping or pressure points. We’ll align on the preferred rise — low, mid or high — and the waistband construction, including belt loops and closure, to match performance and style.

KNOW THE GARMENT
Explore the details before you write the brief.

Choose the saddle-contact direction, then review the full-seat grip coverage and panel shape through the intended movement. This illustration is a location guide. Specify the grip artwork, application method and exact transition around the inner leg so contact feels deliberate rather than restrictive.
Place the pocket opening and bag around the hip crease, carried items and saddle edge. Check access and reinforcement on the complete garment. Confirm the carried item and pocket-bag depth, then reinforce the opening without adding a hard ridge at the hip.
Confirm the stretch ankle cuff with the intended boot. Review seam thickness, opening size and recovery while the leg is bent. Set the ankle opening, panel height and seam direction against the intended tall boot to avoid pressure and twisting.

MAKE IT COHERENT.
A first capsule does not need every product in the catalogue. Pick a rider, a season and an anchor garment. Add pieces that share a colour story and serve a clear second need, then check the minimum order for each style and colour.

COLOUR0102
for this assortment
Assumes every style has the same number of colours. Size allocation is discussed within each style/colour order; garments and colours cannot be pooled to meet the minimum.
Read the collection planning guideChoose an anchor
A breech, tight or polo can establish your fit, audience and price-positioning brief.
Add a purposeful layer
Compare a base layer or outerwear piece that belongs to the same rider and climate.

materials
The material makes the difference.
Nine studiesone considered
collection
Select a material to explore its construction, garment applications and sample checks.
01 — 03 / Fabric structures
Start with the way the yarns are built.
Surface & structure
Intersecting yarns create a defined surface. For breeches or an outer shell, discuss stretch direction, recovery and how the fabric behaves at a bent joint.
How does the selected fabric behave through a bent hip and knee?
- 01Compare movement along both directions
- 02Review seam bulk on the assembled garment
- 03Check pale colours under stretch

Stretch & recovery
Looped yarns give a different movement and hand feel. The finished weight, yarn and construction matter as much as the fibre composition on the label.
Does stretch recover after movement, without the garment losing its shape?
- 01Assess recovery after movement
- 02Compare dimensions before and after care
- 03Check opacity at stretched areas

Placement & coverage
An open structure changes coverage and the way adjoining panels behave. Decide where openness serves the rider and where the garment needs a more opaque surface.
Where can an open structure add ventilation while maintaining the coverage you want?
- 01Map the panel to the wearing position
- 02Compare stretch at panel joins
- 03Check snagging and seam comfort
04 — 06 / Surfaces & assemblies
Then define what the garment needs to do.
Pattern & contact
A grip print is a separate component applied to a base fabric. Coverage, spacing and placement affect the feel; agree the artwork and evaluate the actual application.
What coverage and contact feel should the rider review on the assembled sample?
- 01Review placement while seated
- 02Compare feel before and after care
- 03Inspect edges and application adhesion

Inner face & layering
A raised inner face changes the touch and bulk of a fabric. Consider it together with the rider’s other layers, boot interface and intended care routine.
How much inner loft suits the climate, fit and layering system?
- 01Compare thickness at cuffs and ankles
- 02Review surface change after repeated care
- 03Assess comfort with intended underlayers

Shell, fill & lining
A quilted garment combines layers. The quilt map and seams contain the fill while shaping the finished piece; review loft and mobility in the complete sample.
How should shell, fill and lining work together around the rider’s movement?
- 01Review distribution around armholes
- 02Check the assembled garment in motion
- 03Agree shell, fill and lining references
07 — 09 / Specialist constructions
Take the material brief a little further.
Face & bonded reverse
A weather-facing outer layer with flexibility for a riding position. Bonded constructions can combine a durable face and a softer reverse.
Review: movement, hand feel and layer bonding.
Explore garment applications
Layers & weather protection
For rain-shell development, consider face fabric, membrane or coating, backing and seam construction together. Agree the weather-protection target for the finished garment.
Review: seam sealing, breathability and test evidence.
Explore garment applications
Two faces, one construction
Different inner and outer surfaces can balance next-to-skin comfort with a smooth face for layering. A useful direction for cool-weather training tops.
Review: recovery, inner feel and care performance.
