cadagh and waistcoat planning

[MT4Runner]

Hmmm. So just make regular cadadh, put them on, and the sort of pleat up the excess and install snaps in the right spots to take the slack out?

Duh. Yeah, "a pleat". That word skipped my brain, but is perfectly clear to everyone reading it on this forum.

You'd have 3 layers at most, instead of two, but no gap or draft.

I think it would work. It might work very well. On my ankle I would still have almost twice as much cloth as I needed, so pretty deep folded in hidden bits.

Another idea would be a pleat on either side, with the snaps on either side of your achilles tendon. You'd be pressing on the side of your tendon to snap, but while wearing, they'd be "floating" in that hollow and not rubbing your skin. They'd look a bit like a pair of spats or gaiters?

Also, the snaps would be through a single layer of cloth so that unsnapped the cadadh could open far enough at the ankle to let the heel back out.

Exactly.

Maybe a bit of reinforcement cloth between the snap halves on the inside of the cadadh?

If someone has a pair they choose to try it on I would be glad to see pics.

Reinforcement would be a very good idea.

Now I'm inspired to try this.
