Here is a link to that Nicholson video. I hope it works - I have it bookmarked and it's working for me!

I cannot imagine why I have this - I cannot abide Ghillie brogues and the ridiculous lacing! It is not 'traditional' and was, I believe, introduced as recently as the Victorian era. However, even if I don't make use of the video myself, I am able to provide it as a service to those who do like to overdress !

Oh, I don't know. The currans I wear as part of the reenactment gear are simple pieces of hide laced onto the foot - and the lacing looks an awful lot like the modern ghillie brogue.

I have to admit I can see how the modern ghillie brogues developed out of the older footwear. Personally I like the look of them. But that's just me.
