Best way to wrap stirrup leathers?

Wondering what is the best material and method is for wrapping leathers on a trial saddle to protect the leather flaps? Thanks!

Old socks, is what I have read

I’ve always used old socks.

Saddle I got on trial (sale but could return in within two weeks of arrival) came with socks to put on the leathers to keep the saddle nice and they worked well so I will concur with socks.

Socks or they make fleece covers with Velcro or if not a mono flap, you could try having the leathers under the flap (which, I haven’t don’t personal but when trying a sale horse that’s how the seller had their saddle configured)Z

we used to use a polo wrap

I used knee high nylons. Thin but protective

Friend of mine would always wrap hers with the little fabric bags that bottles of Crown Royal came in. Perfect size, cheeky, and distinctive!
