Do you like yourself in your jods??

[Trundlecat]

YES I DO! Wooohooo! I've lost all my baby weight this year & if I could wear jods & long boots 24 x 7 I would :)

[*Sez*]

Nope, not at all! :D I used to have a lovely pair of soft jeans that I rode in, but I managed to rip a huge hole in them (not while riding). So now I'm back in jodhs.
Since losing almost a stone (woo hoo!) I look a bit better in jodhs, but I still have four stone to go :o My current pair of jodhs are some 26 year old Harry Hall ones (older than me!) that used to belong to my Mum. They're not smooth but not quite cords, so they give a slightly more flattering look. My smooth cotton/lycra blend jodhs all give a really visible VPL and highlight any fatty deposits on my bum and thighs :o So the right pair of jodhpurs can cover a multitude of sins! :D

[marli@missi]

Not to sure about the odd lumps that have arrived, over the year Lol!!!!!!!! :eek:

[Haphazard]

as a blokes point of view jods were not invented with men in mind. There are two mystical materials in life, one is used to make jods and the other wet suits. Put either on a female and it pushes all the bits into the right places whereas on a bloke is does the complete opposite.

[Mimi + Me]

No, following on from the other thread about liking yourself in your hat, I don't like myself in joddies either :(. Whilst I posted a picture of me in my hat I won't be doing so on this thread. You'll just have to take my word for it that my short fat legs + jodhpurs = not a good look :o:o

[Hardy]

Couldn't agree more! The only blokes that seem to be able to carry off wearing jods are the likes of Carl Hester - need I say more! The remainder of us mere mortal men just look ridiculous!!

For the ultimate ridiculous look though a pair of chest waders take a lot of beating. For some reason they are all designed to accommodate a 30 stone bloke, add to that a wax jacket & a self inflating lifejacket (even salmon rivers have gone health & safety daft) and everyone turns into the michellin man!!

[RRA]

The day I can stand in front of a full length mirror in my jods without a top/jacket that is covering me to my knees AND like what I see, I will be a very happy bunny - until then I'll stick to the dark colours with extra lycra.......!!!!:eek:

[jaime200679]

does anyone??

I had a 10 year break from riding, stopping when I joined uni, and starting again when I finally got over being skint! Used to think i looked fab in my jods as a teenager, not so sure now though! (although I think our pervy neighbour quite likes it when I come back from the stables, maybe I have still got it - hmmmmm!!???!!)

[fjordlady]

Not at the moment but I am working on it with the weight loss :).

A picture of me in cream jods taken in the spring spurred me on with my weight loss! Cream jods are the most unflattering ever!

[molly34]

... on a female and it pushes all the bits into the right places
Maybe if that female is under 25, under 10 stone and under a size 12..... but on real women they just cling to the lumps and bumps we already dislike!

Oh and slightly OT but I quite like men's asses in jodhs..... especially if they're built more like Oli Townend than Carl Hester :D

[scottishterrier]

i do yes! i'm 6ft tall and quirte slim and i think long legs look good in jods, however i still have a thing about wearing short tops with them so i always wear long tops or jumpers to keep me sane

[Flash Harry]

Have to be honest,i`m a jeans girl, not too keeen on the VPL look(especially light coloured jods!:)

[LeftBrainer]

Have to be honest,i`m a jeans girl, not too keeen on the VPL look(especially light coloured jods!:)

Me too:)

Prefer riding in jeans - have a lovely aged pair of levis that I bought huston a couple of years ago. fab! But shock/horror their falling apart now:eek:

[Hippyhorse]

I used to think I looked fab in jods before I stopped riding over 10 years ago and all the attention I wouldget helped in that conclusion. Now, some days I think I look ok others not so, depends on the jods to be fair, my creamy coloured check ones make my very muscular legs look like enourmos tree trunks but I don't look os bad in my black ones or my navy sticky bums. But must have half chaps or longs boots on with them and really could do with some that push your bum up a bit!

[raingodz]

I spend most of the weekend wearing my jods, and I don't care what I look like lol - mainly because I never did get the hang of caring about fashion. They fit well and are comfy for riding in where as I tried riding in jeans and they had seams in the wrong places (mainly the ones on the inside of my knee were most uncomfortable).

[Trewsers]

I do like myself in jods - perhaps as well, as I wear practically nothing but at the moment! Whenever I am forced into work (which isn't often as I am part time) I am made to get changed.........lol. I love my jods and long boots. They are sooooo comfy. I hate jeans - they rub and I don't like normal "womany" type footwear - I mean, I am old enough at 38 to realise its bloody uncomfortable tottering around in 4 inch heels - never mind if they make me look taller / thinner..........

[Trewsers]

yaye, you are like my OH now!!! He too pootles around everywhere in his jods - he's come to realise they are comfy!!! I think they look nice anyway - he wears his with MOuntain hOrse long boots - I think they make a nice outfit anyway.:)

[raingodz]

he wears his with MOuntain hOrse long boots - I think they make a nice outfit anyway.:)
I have Mountain Horse (http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f192/raingodz/beauty/first%20show/IMGP1442.jpg) longboots too lol

[Skippys Mum]

Have to be honest,i`m a jeans girl, not too keeen on the VPL look(especially light coloured jods!:)

Or worse - the camel toe look - aaaargh:eek:;eek:

To answer the original question - of course I bloody dont:)

[BlackBess]

I look awful in jods, thunder thighs wouldn't do mine justice and my backside looks like two planets colliding. I wear Caldene Reflex jods cos they're so comfy and stretchy (and mine have to stretch believe me) and I tend to stick to dark colours in the hope that it appears slimming. I just look awful in riding clobber full stop.

[lolahutt]

Out of the whole of my body my legs are reasonably ok I think so I dont mind jods.
But I like riding in jeans mostly, sometimes i wear jods because I think people at my children's schools may think I am a pig farmer or something. Wearing jodhpurs confirms that the source of mud, and the reason that I so often wear hunters, is because I am horsey.
Well I think jodhpurs confirm that.:confused: The other school parents prob think I am wierd anyway, going from the horsey look one day to a sari the next:rolleyes::D

[Gemsluvshorsesx]

Nope, which is why i tend to wear my lovely navy ones as darker colours are the way to go if you aren't built like a stick i've found :o

[Joyscarer]

Nope although to be fair I don't like my body full stop!

[titch_]

NO NO NO

I used to wear them but now only for shows!
I cringe looking at photo's!

[learningcurve]

Yes I do, age 43, size 10/12, gravity not yet rearing its ugly head.

[dansmum]

Yes I do, age 43, size 10/12, gravity not yet rearing its ugly head.

Yup me too, although Im only 40:p. Recently bought two pairs of size 26 jods and are great round the waist but far too baggy on the legs:rolleyes: Reckon its all age related muscle wastage though;)

[kturner]

Cant wear jods anymore because I cant get them up over the knee braces. Got hinges of metal in the brace. So I wear normal stretchy but quite hugging nylon tracksuit pants.

Cant get on the chaps over the braces either, so wear wellies. (Not allowed,I know).

Body protector fits over the two back braces, and the only thing which fits and looks normal is the hat. (Besides the glasses, blind as a bat too)

Look like the mitchelin man with a thick feather jacket on top of all that lot. Can hardly bend to ride, might as well stay on the ground with that lot on. LOL

[BeachRiding]

Err... :p NO

[coverblown]

I don't mind even though I am short and fat 14/16 and only 5'1". As long as I have knee high boots or chaps on I don't really mind. The VPL can be a problem though.

I dont necessarily look any worse in breeches / jods than in anything else.

But honestly, jods / breeches are riding wear and thats all they signify, not model girl appearance. So why should it bother anyone. Even tho I do envy similar height daughter who is a size 8.

[Tarka]

I look better in jodhs than my everyday clothes! I'm 5'7 with loooong legs and I'm size 8. So I do like myself in joddies they make me feel good about myself :)

Are us teens allowed in mature riders? :o

[nikkilab]

Actually yes I think i look alright in joddies! Think mine are 24 waist (kids ones!) and im 26 and 5ft 2inch, not bad going.

[helenpleasance]

When I first put them on I look at myself in the mirror and feel quite proud that at 42 and after 2 kids, I still look good in jods. After a ride and a few hours wear the stomach starts to go a bit and my bottom starts to look larger somehow, and I some how do not look as toned as I did earlier - I wish I knew why. Hey, I even wore a skimpy top on Tuesday as it was soooo hot. Perhaps its a confidence thing?

[popdog]

Yep, I reckon I look ok. I'm 5ft3 and have slimmed down from a size 12 to an 8 this year :D But I thought I look ok when I was bigger too. To be honest I don't really worry about it.

[*katie*]

Nooooo i can't stand myself in them!!!! Technically there's nothing really 'wrong' with my legs, i just have pink ones and look a bit like a giant marshmallow in them :o! Had to go to my old school in them today (going on a hike and the organisers are based at the school) and kept bumping into the worst people to bump into! Idiots i used to work with, the very old crusty teachers, the kids who think it's hilarious that you sit astride something in tight trousers and ride up and down :rolleyes: - it was so humiliating! I always hide the tops of my legs in big shirts when i wear them :D!

[Denbenj]

Nope, thats why I dont even own a pair! why put myself through the misery!.. I'm more than happy riding in jeans or joggys

[chickyd444]

yea im well fit (not) :(

[horse__obsessed]

yess :D

[SpringySpring]

Well I think I look reasonably ok. I'm size 7 (too big for a 6, too small for an 8;)) and do a fair bit of cycling so toned...ish.

Only thing is I have a noticable dent in one thigh from a riding acident yonks ago, so I tend to avoid wearing them in new company. I feel fine with people I know, family, RI, groupies at RS etc as they all know about it, but get sick of people asking about it. Nosey parkers:p

[Trixie]

I must admit I like how I look in my black jods. I got them over 10 years ago and they're made of that minirib stuff which doesn't sag after a few hours wear. They also seem to act like the infamous Playtex girdle and shape you to the jods rather than the jods to you. They're age 10 cos adult jogs are too long in the leg for me - I'm 4'11". The "apron" of loose skin i have courtesy of my pregnancy can be tucked inside sort of and they flatten it out, so I can wear short tight tops and still look like a slightly curvy skelf (splinter for the English).

These jods have been through the wars - the waist band came off so I had to repair that, also some of the seams at the knee and the mice have nibbled a couple of tiny holes in them, but I don't care, I just wish I could find another pair, but they all seem to have horrid lycra in them that falls apart these days.

[ForestGump]

I like my legs in jods. They look better then usual, I don't wear them that much, mainly I ride in jeans but when I wear jods I still feel ok and get a fair few wolf whistles so must look fairly good I suppose! ;):D

[Trundlecat]

No no no no NO! I am simply not gonna tolerate the men complaining about bits in wrong places. Since the very invention of clothing we women have been wearing articles that squeeze us, nip us, hold us in & contort us so the best can be made of our assets. Due to that I think it's only fair that men have the 1 (O.N.E.) item of clothing that (with fear of getting arrested for sexual harassment) accentuates all the right parts & is pleasing to the female eye.

[Humble]

No no no no NO! I am simply not gonna tolerate the men complaining about bits in wrong places.

Not quite sure about accentuating all the right parts - a nice toned bum is OK but the "bandy legs"!!!!!!

[sophie33]

I look terrible in jods, and in my hat... But I don't care!! We women spend our whole lives worrying about how we look. For me one of the many fun bits of riding is I can behave like a little kid again - who cares if I've got straw in my hair, and horse slobber on my shirt!! Does anyone else feel like that?

[Dooley]

I have no idea what I look like in my jodhpurs (or in my hat) - I don't think I've ever looked in a mirror with my jodhs on and I most definitely haven't with my hat on. Hat comes on seconds before I mount and off again seconds after I've dismounted (unless it was an unscheduled dismount hehe)...

In pictures I never recognise myself - only the horses ;-)

I probably should look in a mirror once in a while, might not get so many disgusted looks?

[xloopylozzax]

i think i look ok. dont suffer from vpl (get seam free ones if you want big knickers)
i have got long legs and im a size 8 so they are covered (not bony) without looking lumpy.
i am vain and look in the mirror when i get changed (goes for all my clothes though)
i had to go to my mates house in them, and had her converted, she wants some because they make you look good apparently.

dont have dark ones- canary for showing (probably my favourites!) yellow checked kids ones (just long enough in the leg but i love them) purple/lilac/pink ones, checked george schumacher ones (think thats the brand), green, and one pair of black for the off days (or should that be on) but i dont tend to wear them that much anyway.

[Mimi + Me]

I look better in jodhs than my everyday clothes! I'm 5'7 with loooong legs and I'm size 8. So I do like myself in joddies they make me feel good about myself :)

Are us teens allowed in mature riders? :o

NO you most certainly are not :mad::mad::mad: (especially with that figure)!

Get out before I chuck you out :p:p:p

[Trewsers]

I have Mountain Horse (http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f192/raingodz/beauty/first%20show/IMGP1442.jpg) longboots too lol

That horse is gorgeous - what breed is he / she?

[LindaAd]

Well said, Sophie33.

I love myself in my jodhs - because they mean I'm doing something horsey, and because they're sooo comfortable. Although I don't wear them as often as I'd like to now because they're beginning to wear out and I can't find any stretchy, pull-on, cotton, cord ones to replace them ...

As for feeling inferior because we don't look like some imaginary stereotype - the girls in the Caldene ads, maybe - haven't we outgrown that yet? After all, we don't expect our horses all to look alike, so why should we expect that of ourselves? I'm not slim, I'm not young and I'm not tall. Maybe my horse would like me to be a bit lighter, but apart from that, who cares?

[Nik-n-Kia]

I never bothered when I was heavier, never really crossed my mind that they were supposed to look good lol!!!

Then again i am not into what I look like in public, will happily go shopping in asda caked in muck :D

Feel better from losing the weight tho still far to go but 3st down and 1.5 to go!!! Cant look worse lol!!!:cool:

Nikki xxxx :p

[eventerbabe]

heck no! but tbh i don't really care what jo public think. I have some weird and wonderful coloured jods, often enhanced with mud splatters and mucky marks from the boys wiping thier mouths on me after having their feeds. i've lumpy thighs and a well padded rear but i think i look far less offensive than the white tracksuit and trainer brigade, especially those chavs who tuck one trouser leg into their sock and leave the other trouser leg loose :p:D

[Crazy Mare]

I live in my jods 'cause I find them so much more comfortable for riding/yard jobs than jeans.

Don't look too bad in my black ones but any other colour I'm not keen (especially show jods).

And whatever possessed me to go out and buy patterned jods - not a good look for me :eek::o:eek::o:eek::o

Note to self - as jods wear out replace with black ones.

[carrimclaren]

Ride in jods and jeans, whatever happens to be handy in the pile i've ironed. Always blue or black though, only beige ones for days out. Don't do light colours when riding.
I don't mind myself in jods but it's like second nature now i don't care. Get some odd looks when i go to the co-op in them though, bloody townies :D
p.s people under a size 12 can be defined as real women to :)

[Calder]

I used to be mortified at being seen out in riding clothes anywhere other than at the stables, but now I'm proud of my jodhpurs:)

Although I wouldn't strut around in them everywhere - work, for example - it's nice to have your horsiness acknowledged, particularly when you are still a (fairly) new rider. I think my OH looks nice in her jodhpurs, and she thinks I do in mine!

She and I were recently on the bus in our riding clothes, much to the amusement of the driver, who gave us the old 'Where's-your-horse' line :rolleyes:

[AwkwardAnnie]

i'm a jeans lady. i'll wear cream jods for hunting but the rest of the time it's jeans, they feel cooler in summer - not so much arty-fishul fibres to make you sweaty lol:p
mind you i wanted one of those hi viz things with does my bum look big on this on the back and oh just laughed and said how many hoots was i was expecting to get from drivers 1 per metre squared:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

[~*sugarlump*~]

yeah.....:o
i do, theyre comfy and my legs arent too bad (dont know bout the rest of me though :p)
the only bit i dont like is the VPL

[Ruskii]

Er ..... No!

Tried on my first pair of jods in years the other day for a laugh (SO nice to find pairs to BIG for me now!) and was horrified, lower leg is JUST passable. Thighs and bum -= Hippo Size.

I'll stick to riding in Jeans and half chaps :cool:

[Hippyhorse]

Out of the whole of my body my legs are reasonably ok I think so I dont mind jods.
But I like riding in jeans mostly, sometimes i wear jods because I think people at my children's schools may think I am a pig farmer or something. Wearing jodhpurs confirms that the source of mud, and the reason that I so often wear hunters, is because I am horsey.
Well I think jodhpurs confirm that.:confused: The other school parents prob think I am wierd anyway, going from the horsey look one day to a sari the next:rolleyes::D

You sound soo like me! Although I don't tend to ride in jeans,I used to get some odd looks at my boys school from parents, kids and teachers when I first started college and picking the kids up after a full dirty day at the yard with mud/muck/slobber everywhere, hat hair and bits of hay stuck to me! Their school is in avery urban non horsey area so I really do think some of them thought what the f***! they are used tomeknow, but don't assume people think jods = horsey as I had onemum ask me if I'd been exercising or running!(ok did have my trainers on not boots but still had the jods complete with muck and slobber!) On mynon horsey days I then turnup in tiedye dresses and funky prints or my lovely patchwork wrap skirt with my cavans wedges and espidrills(sp)!

[palmerlover52]

I actually look better in my jodhs I think :rolleyes: 24 inch waist and 31 inch legsies ;)

But then again I look like a bodybuilder in a bikini so, swings and roundabouts:p

[Country_lad]

as a blokes point of view jods were not invented with men in mind. There are two mystical materials in life, one is used to make jods and the other wet suits. Put either on a female and it pushes all the bits into the right places whereas on a bloke is does the complete opposite.

I have to agree. Men and jodhpurs don't seem to go together. In my eyes, jods seen to flatter the female figure........ but on men, it just seems to make things 100000 times worse!

[chickyd444]

I have to agree. Men and jodhpurs don't seem to go together. In my eyes, jods seen to flatter the female figure........ but on men, it just seems to make things 100000 times worse!

i dont know some times its quite nice to see what the men have to offer ;)

[Sarah-Lou :)]

I would wear them 24/7 aswell if i could!
I love them :D

Sometimes if im getting ready to go out & i cant be arsed i'll be like 'why can't i just put my johds & boots on!' :p


SL x

[skips and soda]

i dont know some times its quite nice to see what the men have to offer ;)

Agreed. ;):p

[a+e]

I think i look ok in jods:rolleyes: but then im under a size 12 and under 10 stone so i guess i dont count as im obviously not a 'real woman';)

[Country_lad]

i dont know some times its quite nice to see what the men have to offer ;)

Hmmmm so when you say you think they look good you are actually not quite being honest then!!?? :rolleyes: lol

[luvmelol]

OOhh no!!

[jacs205]

still very much a new rider so I love being in my jods and chaps:D Mine are black and very full of lycra though so they do hold in the lumps a bit, I tried on a pair of light ones in the saddlery but when I looked in the mirror all I could think of was a tub of cottage cheese yuck. When I took daughter there this week to get her some new ones they had lovely denim jods in blue and black, tempted but car insurance, road tax and my tumble dryer dying this week means they'll have to wait.

To change the subject, daughter has the cheapie long dublin rubber boots but has a habit of letting horses step on her feet (I think she gets too close because she wants to cuddle them :rolleyes:) so what do people think of steel toe cap boots, do they help and what ones are good?

[raingodz]

That horse is gorgeous - what breed is he / she?

This is Beauty (my baby Bea) and she is a 15.1hh, 4yo, Connemara X

[Skib]

I love my up market new breeches and long black boots - One of the benefits of learning to ride is walking around cross-dressed as a cavalier. Or Rosalind. - though one isnt allowed to say so on NR.
My OH looks fetching in his new grey breeches too - pleat fronted from Mark Todd.

But it is strictly for the horses. I dont cook in stable clothes.

By the way, raingodz, I love that horse as it is so like my favourite ride. If I come to buy one, I may seek your advice.

[carrimclaren]

I have to agree. Men and jodhpurs don't seem to go together. In my eyes, jods seen to flatter the female figure........ but on men, it just seems to make things 100000 times worse!

See i actually think blokes look a lot better in jods than they think. I guess it's just the same as women's jods, get a good quality and well fitted pair and they will look fine. A bad fit makes anyone look worse.

[Mary Poppins]

I look dreadful in jods and try and avoid looking at myself too much!

[Twigletz7]

No I don't, especialy the beige variety:rolleyes: I have a slim long body that just seems to emphasise the shortness and chunkyness of my legs, and jods do not help that;)

Oh and I don't suit riding hats either:o

[Skint]

I have a long body and short squatty legs, I am 5'7" and weight 16.2 stones, i'm so sure that jodhs would do me no favours that i havent worn any since around 1986! :D

I dont ride atm anyway, feel too heavy and unfit!

[Trundlecat]

To change the subject, daughter has the cheapie long dublin rubber boots but has a habit of letting horses step on her feet (I think she gets too close because she wants to cuddle them :rolleyes:) so what do people think of steel toe cap boots, do they help and what ones are good?

Some people will tell you they're dangerous but I have Eqitector short & long boots & wouldn't wear anything else http://www.equitector.com. I'm far too prone to day dreaming & putting my feet under the horses hooves to risk non toe-cappers. If you do buy some make sure you have enough width cos of course, they won't stretch much round the front due to the steel. In fact, I'd say better to go a width up the way & put in an insole than risk your feet swelling (heat, long time with stirrup pressure) & them pinching. I don't think they do kids sizes though.

thanks TC, they don't seem to have them small enough for La unfortunately. If she woke up a bit it probably wouldn't happen but she wanders along cuddling in and trying to feed polos and forgets that these cutey pie lickle horseys are actually bleedin big animals that hurt when they step on you:rolleyes:

She'll not change Jacs, save your breath hun. I'm 38 years old & still walk along cuddling, day dreaming & getting stepped on. Not so bad now a days though with the TB, the old Suffolk cross however had hooves like dinner plates & I still didn't learn my lesson lol.

what can I say, I'm almost as bad too:) In my lesson yesterday I kept getting a fit of the giggles whenever I got my diagonal wrong, you know how when you start giggling then everything sets you off again, trouble was every time I did the horse stopped dead and I spent most of the lesson hanging over to her neck, in the end her and I gave up and just had a cuddle and shared some polos, I am THE worst rider

[ShariN]

I can't even fit in mine!:o Of course they are 20 years old.:rolleyes:
One of these days I will pick up another pair, until then..since I just putter about on my place.. I will wear sweats.:D

[Suzanne2]

But if they're dark and fitted, tis far more forgiving to the outline than many other garments. Hats are a different matter. Mine makes me look like melon head and ruins my hair!

[stormy's mum]

I think i look ok in jods:rolleyes: but then im under a size 12 and under 10 stone so i guess i dont count as im obviously not a 'real woman';)

i think i look good hehhe but then im under 9 stone so still girly i suppose lol

[jumpingkatey]

Yea I don't mind myself in my Jodhs!
I'm 5'10,size 8,under 10stone!
I jog and bike alot as well as working outside 5days a week with the horses so they all tone you up!

[StormBidder]

I have some almost royal blue caldene jods which are actually quite flattering!
I wear jod six days a week mind so i have to like them really.
I don't know how anyone can ride in jeans all the time, they are so uncomfortable and talk about wedgie...

[connie35]

Hi, no I looked at myself in my jods and i look so fat my bum is so big i only wear mine when i have to lol:eek:

[horseygal90]

NO! I hate the way my legs look, Jods just make it worse. My bum is just a massive expanse of fat :( I'm a 16/14 on bottoms, 12 on top :rolleyes:
5ft 7ish.
I hate trying to find trousers that fit (sorry moan coming up), if they fit on my thunder thighs then they don't fit on my waist, if they fit on my waist then I can't get them over my thunder thighs! Grrr!

[poppy 99]

Yes! I wear them all the time so it a good job! However, some are definately more flattering than others!

[whatever]

i dont know some times its quite nice to see what the men have to offer ;)
You are a very naughty young lady :eek:

[Leosmummy]

Yes.

They make me look rather slim when ive got them on hahaha

[icegirl]

Not too bad since I discovered Fuller Fillies - Im not an agent for them btw, even though I have posted a few times on how nice they are.:cool:
Good colours too.

Maybe if that female is under 25, under 10 stone and under a size 12..... but on real women they just cling to the lumps and bumps we already dislike!


I am that woman, except I am 26. And I don't like the jods either, they accentuate the fact that I look like a walking stick. I could not find any other color than black either :mad:

You are a very naughty young lady :eek:


Ok, Im a guy and I wear Jods, dont like breeches & I tend to stick to the dark colours, as the light ones sort of enhance your bits if you know what I mean. :D

[Roheryn]

as a blokes point of view jods were not invented with men in mind. There are two mystical materials in life, one is used to make jods and the other wet suits. Put either on a female and it pushes all the bits into the right places whereas on a bloke is does the complete opposite.

Not so, Haphazard. I disagree. ;) Don't know about wet suits, but in my opinion men look great in jods/breeches and most women I know would agree.

As for my liking myself in my jods (schooling tights)--yes, I love myself in them, thunder thighs and all, because I am still able to ride and they fit like a second skin and are MUCH more comfortable than riding in jeans. :)

By the way, has your name anything to do with Sir Peter Teazle's son?

I love myself in my black and beige ones but not so keen on my pink ones.
Im small so I feel happy in mine :D

[Magbag]

I would not say i am large. I can't stand myself in them :(

The worst of it is i have got to spend most of the day in them. They are work wear for me.

Im small so I feel happy in mine

:confused: :confused:

Well, goodness, I'm not small and I feel very happy in mine because I'm usually on a horse when I'm in them! I never before knew that being small was a prerequisite to being happy! :p ;)
