Bump (they came up again in another thread)

I make them footless style. So much easier to sew, and there is historic precedence....

MacWage, thanks for the assistance and link. Could a fellow wear cadadh with these brogues?
Cheers

That looks like the Smoke and Fire pattern. I have at one, but haven't actually used it.
I'd say, if they fit the period you intend, cetainly. By the Jacobite era and latter, they actually wore a different style of shoe (in military and public life) and cadadh. For an earlier period, I'm SURE they were worn together. I'll have to let one of the reenactors here tell of the shoes and what period what was worn (outside my main knowledge and only terciary at best).
What PERIOD are you after recreating?

I am interested in the period 1750 - 1850, so I guess I should put my money on a pair of shoes like David's.
David, are those regular 1800's shoes like Jas. Townsend sells or is the tongue longer? Where did you find the buckles?
Thanks again everyone, this is such a great forum:-)

This is pretty neat, actually I was wanting to do the same thing with my tartan, and probably would have ended up asking about it.
I notice in David White and sirdaniel's pictures, they use bands to tie the cadadhs in place. Would it work if I sewed an elastic band around the top hem as an alternative? Anyone ever try this?

I use somewhat traditional garters or ties.

How much fabric do you need to make a pair?
