You know you've got your priorities wrong when you're more worried about what costume to wear on the Cinderella ride than the fact that you're going to be riding a century.
Anyhoo. I had the brilliant idea of white or beige legwarmers with fishnet sublimated printing on it. But I can't seem to find anyone that prints custom legwarmers like the jerseys.
Any ideas? And would there be any more interest if I go for a larger order?

Any of the big companies that do kits should be able to do leg and arm warmers too. Some like Champion ( http://champ-sys.com/lycra-leg-warmers.html )will do fairly small runs - they have a min of 10 pieces at $23 each. If you research a bit I'm sure you'll come up with others too. With digital printing these days the set up is so much easier to do that companies are willing to do smaller runs.
btw - you'll save some money if you can do the graphic design yourself (most places provide templates compatible with the more common programs - like Adobe Illustrator), but they will also design them for you, for a fee of course.Last edited by Eden; 02-03-2009 at 10:38 AM.

I know Sock Guy does them, but I think 60 is the minimum order. I'd take a pair.
Tis better to wear out than to rust out....

this is much easier than you think, and i've done it. Get your leg warmers on and put fish net stockings over them!
the brighter the color stockings, the better.
it looks great.I like Bikes - Mimi

Fishnet garter leg warmers
I see this thread is super ancient. However, in case anyone like myself tries to google somewhere to find this type of legwarmer and comes across this post, like I did, I found them! My friend really found them, and wears them. But here's the link to epic leg warmers!

ENJOY! Rock these for all rides, not just the girly ones. (Now where to find cycling heels to go with these?
