Jack Roberts Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Here are a couple of pics of what I've been working on for the past few days. Using Reconstucting History's pattern #706. They are 100% linen. Mighty comfortable, very cool to the skin. These I made before the others. 98% wool/ 2% lycra. They were a pair of drawstring pants I wore for last year at PiP. I'm really happy with the way came out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman of Fortune Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Cool! I am working on some trousers as we speak. I am using my own pattern for these... and taking it slow (which is difficult for an instant-gratification kind of guy like myself). Hope to have some pictures up soon as well. Keep up the good work!

Black Mab Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ooh, those look great! I'm sorely tempted to redo me own waistband . . . GoF, I feel your pain. I am the absolute worst when it comes to instant gratification. Avast, ye scurvy dog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rats Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Welldone!!! I'll be trying some slops... or maybe some breeches in linen... Just because I have two or three in Canvas already and the linen looks so much better and I'm sure wears lighter No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!

Patrick Hand Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 If ye can afford it..... go with hemp..... I made a pair of slops and a pair of trousers outta hemp to replace/up-date my old cotton canvas ones...... and WOH.... Hemp is fantastic..... much more comfortable and softer than the cotton...... too bad it cost so much more....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBarbossa Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 My compliments to ye, Amanjiria. Very well done. Comfort is key really. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Rats Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'll probably go with the hemp this winter for another project. I'm going to be working on a hammock and maybe the simple trousers for GP and simplicity. Actually I need to make a dufflebag like my old GI one for PIP!! Sorry for the brief Hijacking!! No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
