breeches staining from the saddle?

I have a pair of beige breeches(johdpurs, really i guess)", and they have brown marks o the knee patches from the saddle ( i assume) thry dont really come off in the wash either. They fade, but are still present. Is there anything i can spary on them so this staining wont occour? how can i get the stains off? I just bought a new pair of brown grand pirx breeches for schooling and i dont want this to happen to them, even though they wouldnt shop up as much on brown pants. any suggestions?thanks!!
btw, it can be seen because i do barn work, and i walk around in them at the barn

The stains in your breeches, is most likely from your saddle.

This often happens with new saddles, that have a lot of dye still in them. There's not much you can do here, but cleaning your saddle (with soap, conditioners, all the good stuff) will help bring out a lot of the excess dye. 'Til then, I suggest not wearing your new breeches, and maybe purchasing a saddle cover (one that you can ride in).

I suggest you take your stained breeches to a specialty cleaner, or dry cleaner and have them remove the stains. Ask them if there's any household items you can use to eliminate stains later on (like, before a show).

Good luck,
