New Stuff!

The hose absolutely ROCK! Total jones there! I prefer a bit more turn-over myself, but those are most excellent. Have to agree with the coat comment though, Mate.

I prefer more turn-over as well, but I didn't want the cuff to cover up the design in the calf increase. I made up the pattern myself and this was the prototype, so I know next time to give myself a little more room.

If you're going to button the coat, you really need a huge, hairy, buffalo skin sporran to show off when you unbutton it .

You know what, in your other thread about the hose, I said I'd personally prefer more turnover, but the smaller turnover with the off-white wool somehow gives it a more formal look than what I was thinking of. Not really sure how to explain it...perhaps sort of like the difference between buckles and regular wingtips...?

Funny, I sort of think the same thing. Like I said, I have a lot of mixed feelings about this pair.

Speaking of narrow turnovers, check out this post: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...tml#post865014 Looks like the short cuff in a dressy setting isn't a new idea.

Yep,...it's coming together. I like the hose. I especially like the pattern you put into the back of the calf.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to trying some variations on this pattern. I think I could work that design into a thistle without too much trouble.
