Rode at a dressage comp at the weekend, where the school which is sand and rubber was flooded, so my jodhs ended up covered in black spots.

So sprayed them with Vanish stain remover and chucked them in the wash - twice. Black stains didn't come out.

So stupidly dabbed the stains with a bleach covered tissue. Within seconds the stains had gone white! Quickly rinsed them under the tap - but too late.

So now I have beige johds with pale white spots on one leg and pale black spots on the other!

They're Just Togs breeches with faux leather seat.

Anyone know if I can spot dye them or get the bleach out - oh, and the black spots???
 
I dont think there is anything you cna do other than try a dye and see what happens, but the bleached areas may still come out lighter.
If all else fails you may have to dye them dark blue or something and use them for everyday.

If I bleached the whole lot, would they fall apart / stitches rot etc?

You don't need to soak them for very long, but they might not bleach evenly, unfortunately. Perhaps you could take them to a dry cleaners/similar and see what they can do?
