Almost Curvy Enough!
Overall these are nice quality breeches. Just wish they lived up to the "curvy" name a little more. I ordered according to the size chart, and while the fit is perfect through the seat and leg, there's still a lot of gapping at the waistband. Wish these were 2" smaller in the waist. I also wish they had a thigh pocket for a phone.
That said, I'm not mad at Smartpak. I have this same fit problem with every brand of breeches. I was hoping that "curvy" fit meant curvy like an hourglass, with a smaller waist than hip. But these don't feel significantly different to me than the regular fit in most other brands. So I think they're using "curvy" to mean "round." Which is fine, just wish that was a little more clear in the description.
The material feels high quality, and the silicone grip is substantial. I also like the belt loops and the sock-like leg closure. These are more of a three-season weight than a summer weight, in my opinion, but the material is flattering and hides cellulite.
Overall nice breeches if you don't need an hourglass fit. Alas, for me, the search for beeches that don't gap at the waist continues...

Plus size doesn't follow size chart
I wish I could give these a 3.5. They are well made for the price, but the sizing is not consistent to the size chart in the plus sizes.
I have several pairs of the Rom wear a 38 in the Romfh Isabellas and ordered a 40 in the Hadley breeches, following the size chart. I couldn't even get them up my legs. I exchaged for a 44, and those are the same size as the Romfh 38.
If you're going to publish a size chart with measurements, please make the breeches actually to those measurements

LOVE these breeches
These breeches truly fit like a glove and are so comfortable. I find these breeches sit a bit higher than my regular Hadley breeches. The large pocket comfortably fits my iPhone 15 Pro (with some room to spare for treats). The silicone grip is also a great feature that I really appreciate especially when riding my spicy mare and younger horses. I am typically a 26 in other styles/brands of breeches (regular Hadley Breeches, Pipers, Tailored Sportsman, etc.) and am a 26 in these as well. Just like all of my breeches, I wash these in cold water and hang them to dry. I will absolutely be getting these in more colors soon!

My Favorite SmartPak Style!
The Hadley Curvy Fit Breeches are my ALL-TIME favorite SmartPak style. From schooling to showing, their fit, comfort, and quality are top tier. 10/10 recommend! The fit through the waist and thigh is what makes these breeches special. No adjusting and no unflattering sagginess. Additionally, the quality of the material is great! My white breeches have been washed and bleached throughout this summer show season and I do not anticipate replacing them for next year!

Amazing in so many ways!
These just arrived and rode in them today. Finally breeches that are comfy and fit my 5'3" frame. The length in the 32R is perfect for my short legs. I struggle with breeches being too long. I probably could have ordered the 30R, but very happy with the fit. Very flattering, fit nice in the waist, no gaps and perfect in hips/thighs.

Excellent fit
The fit on these breeches is perfection. Finally a high enough rise with a waistband that doesn’t sag and gap, but enough room for my hips. The only downfall is the white fabric instantly stained and looks horrible after one wear. I’m so tired of buying a new pair of white breeches for every show. But I also don’t want to look like I pooed my pants.

Great Romfh alternative
Romfh breeches have been my go to for years, but as they get increasingly expensive, I thought I'd try these out. (The sale price made them even more affordable.) The fit is excellent--in fact, they may be the best fitting breeches I own. The silicone doesn't seem quite as tacky as some breeches, but there's plenty of grip. I would say to size down. I went with a 30R rather than the 32R I take in Romfhs.
I'm crossing my fingers that SmartPak might consider making these in a winter fabric as well. I've yet to find a winter breech that fit well, and if these were available in a heavier, fleece-lined fabric, I'd buy out the stock when fall rolled around.

ROMFH DUUPPEE
I got these to try while they were on sale! I was looking for a breech that was similar to romfh as that is all I have been wearing for the last few years. Though I am currently loosing weight and know I won't be keeping these breeches for too long so buying multiple pairs of romfh breeches that cost $220+ isn't ideal. Anyways I am blown away with the quality, these are definitely romfh dupes and are a great price! Also really like the colors!

Perfect Curvy Fit
My waist is a size smaller than my hips. These are the first breeches I ever found that actually fit without a waist bad gap. Very flattering fabric. So excited! Buying in every color.

Finally!
Until these, I only thought Romfh brand 3-button breeches were the only ones that would ever fit my criteria of being super high waisted and roomy through the hips and thighs. Then I found these, and they’re more economical and I believe they’re a more durable fabric. I have the tan and green. If you’re considering the green, do it. It’s darker than the photos indicate and looks so luxurious.
