Can anyone recommend a brand of jods/breeches that is the "right" colour for M&M showing? I dont want banana legs as i'm in my mid thirties but I've ordered "corn" and "beige" coloured ones online and they are a weird ashy brown colour. I cant seem to get it right!

I marched around windsor shops yesterday looking for the "right" shade - but no luck. What do others use? is there a go to brand for this type of thing?

I dont mind whether they are tights/breeches/jods... as long as they look smart enough for the show ring.

I like the canary ones i got from Aldi but they are not currently doing them.
They are Crane jods if that makes any difference

Horzehoods have recently launched both canary & hunter beige Contraflex leggings, a few pics on their facebook pages.
Or, try Le Beau Cheval / Pretty Ponies?

I have the canary ones of these and love them, however I think they would unfortunately fit the banana legs category.

Alternatively if you already have some beige you can try sticking them in the wash with a new yellow duster and they can come out a nice colour. I personally wasn't brave enough with jodphurs but I did it in the past with a shirt and it came out well.
