We wear the stirrups up here in Canada. There was talk about a product being developed that is the one-piece stirrup.

Still wearing my stirrups here in the UK.
The downside is getting stick from the other guys about being a dinosaur. I don't care, I've had them for over 20 years, they still look as good as the day I bought them and no sign of them wearing out yet My feet are comfortable in my choice of white tube socks - thin ones in summer, thick ones in winter.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I've just found something that does a great job of getting stains out. The product is called Soilove and retails in CA for about a $1 a bottle. I pretreat stains on my knickers and my socks with it and let them soak for about 15 minutes, I then wash them with detergent and Oxyclean. They come out spotless and it doesn't harm colors.
It looks like you might not be able to find it in Wisconsin but you can order a case of it online. I highly recommend it.

I have a problem with the black fading on the socks when the water temperature is set at 140 degrees. It leaves a kind of gray stripe onthe upper part of the sock.
The best I have found for washing the socks is 105 degrees with OxyClean. |

I just wash everything on cold. MNBlue- Works for kids, too. Good to know for the future!

Looks like that product might be worth trying on knickers.
But as far as socks go, I don't try that hard. A normal wash usually does the trick. And I just replace them as necessary if they start to get a bit dingy. I only go through 1 or 2 pair a year. I ususally find that the white stripes get dingy quicker than the lower portion. |

oxyclean
I had a game one night that was so muddy I considered throwing my uniform in the trash. My socks were solid brown. Knickers a complete mess.
I doused them in spray-on OxyClean and put them in a cold wash as soon as I got home. Once the washer filled I let it churn a couple of minutes then turned it off so everything could soak overnight. The next morning I let the cycle finish, then washed them in hot (not sure the temp) with lots of detergent and more OxyClean. I could not believe how white they were. And unlike bleach, I haven't had OxyClean fade the black parts.
