I think I wagered (as intended) that MacMillan would not wear spats more than four times in two years if we provided him a free pair. If both a Scot and an American think I have lost the wager (seperated by a common language) I will send off $60 to the Wounded Warriors. If an American agrees I would have won the wager I'll send ten bucks to the Wounded Warriors as a gesture of good faith.


Odd about matching gaiter/ hose color. In post #6 this thread MoR quoted from his library:

But only one of the pictures in this thread so far, the third image of Harry Lauder in post one shows gaiters matching or nearly matching hose color.

An interesting weekend diversion this thread. I have some more spring cleaning to undertake now that my gaiters are off my cold weather boots.
