The boyfriend will be in Texas for work, so I'm hoping he can get some breeches for me that I can't get hold of easily here.
But I don't know the sizing!
Does anyone know the equivalent for EU 42, or Aus/UK 14 ???
I'm hoping to get some smarktpak pipers, and/or ovation celebrity slim secrets.

Re: American Breeches sizing?
The breeches sizing is supposed to be the waist measurement in inches, though of course that doesn't always ring true.
According to this chart, a UK 14 would be a US 12. I'm usually a US 8/10, and have the Pipers in a 32, so I'm thinking you'd want a 34. These breeches run a bit big in the waist and it seems most people need a belt with them. I think I had a pair of Ovation breeches before and they ran a little larger.

Keep calm and canter on.

Thanks Straightforward!
So, they aren't even in american sizing, I'm not sure what country's sizing they are!
But that chart helps, as does your advice. Thankyou

Yes, breeches sizing is different than American street wear sizing. Why must it be so confusing!?
Keep calm and canter on.

Re: American Breeches sizing?
Agree that the original Pipers sit low and the waist is a bit large. I wear a 4/6 and the 28's fit fine in the butt and legs, but I'm always yanking them up due to the big waist. Belting them helps - but, they still seem to slip down. I really don't care for mine - thank goodness I only bought one pair.
A friend recently bought the new grippy style and she loves them!

Well, he bought me the ovations celebrity slims in a 34. A bit too big, might have been better with a 32 for my waist but I do have a big bum.
They are quite comfy and better being a touch big than a touch small.
