하희정 Ha Hee-jung
Abstract
As a precursor to the development of such breeches, this study examines the types of pants worn by adult female riders and analyzes the design of female equestrian breeches sold online and in retail shops in Korea. In case of silhouette, a predominant majority of the products (91.9%) offered a tight fit around the lower body. Other designs included a pair of tucks on the front waist area to provide ease, those with ease in the hip area without any tucks on the front waist area, boots cut, and baggy. Regarding the detailing of the breeches fit tight around the lower body, 85.4% had leather patches over the knee and hip areas. Most breeches did not have any back pockets, and 73.3% had pockets with zippers below the waist. In case of color, black was most common, followed by beige ,white, brown, and khaki. As for materials, 25.8% of the breeches were made with 95% of cotton and 5% of spandex. 22.5% were made with 65% of cotton, 27% of nylon, and 8% of spandex. The most common price range for female riding breeches sold in the market was 250,000-299,000 won, and only a small number of products were available for less than 100,000 won. Therefore, it can be concluded that riding breeches need to be developed that offer design and functionality at reasonable, affordable prices.
