LeMieux Kids Annie Denim Bregging

LeMieux labels its children's sizes by age, and the Young Rider range is designed for children aged 7 to 14. An age is a guideline, not a measurement: two children born in the same year can differ considerably in height. Compare the LeMieux size chart with your child's height and get in touch with the shop if you are torn between two sizes.

LeMieux gives specific washing instructions for the Annie: wash with similar colours, use only a non-biological detergent, do not tumble dry and do not iron over the logos. LeMieux does not state a washing temperature in the product information; for that, follow the care label inside.

Denim tends to release some colour, especially in the first few washes. So do not wash the Annie together with white or light-coloured riding clothes.

The Annie is for the child who likes a casual look at the yard and in lessons, but still wants grip and freedom of movement in the saddle. Because all four Young Rider sizes are available, you can later buy the same pair in a larger size.

Prefer plain breggings without the jeans look? Then take a look at the LeMieux Remi Bregging. If you want a pair with a real fastening, the LeMieux Izzy riding breeches are an alternative. For competitions, riding breeches in white or beige, the usual competition colours, are the better choice.

Your child pulls the Annie on like leggings: no zip, no buttons. The fly finish at the front is only there for the jeans look. The slash pockets at the sides are for small items.

Wash with similar colours and a non-biological detergent, do not tumble dry and do not iron over the logos. The product information gives no wash temperature: follow the care label. Denim can lose colour, especially in the first few washes, so don't wash the Annie with white or light riding wear.

Which size should I choose?
The Annie Denim is available from 122-128 (age 7-8) to 158-164 (age 13-14). LeMieux uses age sizes, so measure your child and compare with the LeMieux size chart. If in doubt, get in touch with the shop.

How do I wash these breggings?
With similar colours and a non-biological detergent. Do not tumble dry and do not iron over the logos. For the washing temperature, follow the care label.

Do breggings have a zip or buttons?
No. That is exactly the difference from riding breeches, which do have a fastening. You pull the Annie on like leggings; the fly finish at the front is there for the jeans look.

What does full grip mean?
Full grip means the silicone grip covers the entire seat, not just the inside of the knee. It gives hold and contact with the saddle.

Can my child wear these in riding boots?
Yes. At the bottom there is a fully elasticated sock-style cuff that fits closely around the lower leg, so the breggings sit neatly in the boot.

Is the Annie Denim suitable for competitions?
White and beige are the usual competition colours. This dark blue denim is mainly a pair for lessons, schooling and the yard. If in doubt, check the rules of your discipline and federation.

Does the Annie Denim have pockets?
Yes, slash pockets at the sides, for small things such as a hair tie or a key.
