    I wish I loathed clothes shopping, presumably breeches don't count anyway?

    About £30 annoyingly! Breeches nip in at the bottom with a velco tab to stop them riding up under long boots, as opposed to joddies designed to be pulled down over short boots. Generally breeches are for adults so they can charge silly prices for them.
