Thanks in advance!!

Lucinda Green ones are very nice, I had a pair of green ones that I've only just thrown out!! They were about 6yrs old, only tended to wear them in the summer tho but very good quality!
I've also got some Barbour breeches that are lovely, not sure if they still make them but they do come up on e-bay. They are a similat colour to the yellowy LG ones but I prefer the fit of the Barbour ones.
Hope those ranblings make sense!!

RTS Bentex do a corn coloured pair with a stretch sticky seat. If you order them direct from the manufacturer they work out cheaper than buying in this country. Click on ladies standard cotton then move you mouse over the different colours for a better view.

I have countless pairs of Harry Hall Ascot breeches and I think that they're fantastic for the price. They're no longer made, but a few online tack shops still stock them. They have a sticky bum (not sure you'd like them or not then...?) and I wear them a lot for hunting and have also worn them for dressage competitions and they're very smart

Are they too light beige for you though?

Dobbie's breeches/jods! They are sold by Mrs. Candy, Pretty Ponies etc, but go direct to them at www.dobbiesjods.co.uk.
I have the "Honey" colour for showing my Cob @£31.05! And she does made to measure too! - like these:

A word of warning though: they are VERY stretchy so order a size smaller & make sure if you're over 5 ft 6 you get the long leg length (for breeches, not sure about jods as I don't wear them)

I second JnB - super breeches/jods. I've got them in that honey colour as well -

Yes, Dobbies are the best. They are reasonbly priced, super stretchy and the lady there is lovely.

what material are the Dobbies breeches made out of? I had a look on their site, but it didn't say - not nylon I hope!

 

[jnb]

Cotton/lycra and elastane I think! As the owner of non-sylph like thighs I need all the help I can get!!!

lol don't we all!

thanks jnb, they look great, just didnt want nasty nylon!!
