Brand Insight: Kerrits 

Performance-inspired equestrian apparel

Kerrits has been going as an activewear company, starting off with swimsuits, since 1986. The founder, Kerri Kent, started with handmaking her own swimsuits in the pursuit of designing more comfortable activewear for athletic woman. In 1991, the New York Times wrote a piece on Kerri who mentioned her desire to spread this line to her other passion; horses. The CEO of Eisers, a leading equestrian company, read the article and approached Kerri to ask her to design a line. Here, Kerrits Performance Equestrian Apparel was born. The evolution has gone from strength to strength, and Kerrits have built up an impressive fanbase of Team Riders and over 1000 ambassadors.

Kerrits was discovered at a Manhattan saddlery before G&G was even an idea. In 2012 whilst living in NY, Becs booked her first riding lesson in about 15 years. Setting out on the search for some essential breeches, Becs discovered and swiftly purchased a pair of Kerrits microcords - super stretchy and as comfortable as yoga pants. When the G&G collection was later being developed, Kerrits was top of Becs' list as a unique US brand with long-lasting pieces to bring back to the UK. 

Founder Note 

Every rider needs a breathable gilet designed for riding and now we have it. The Kerrits Softshell Riding Gilet is my go-to for keeping a little bit warmer and protected on those cooler spring, summer and autumn days.
