Re: [RBW] FS: Brand New Wool Knickers

2018-11-27 Thread Patrick Moore 
I've done that a number of times; rather crudely, simply having the legs
cut and hemmed at the right length, and velcro sewed on to cinch. They
don't hang as nicely as if the ends were tapered, but they look pretty
good, this notwithstanding.

I cut mine long, so that I can cinch tightly just under knee and have ample
material to "blouse" over the cinch -- this ensures no binding when I
pedal, and also that I look like Tintin.

I have 2 such pairs left, both made from good wool dress trousers, and am
thinking of having the nearby tailor (just discovered) make the ends more
elegant.

I posted a photo of my most recent pair not too long ago, but can't access
it now since on a secondary computer.

Re: [RBW] FS: Brand New Wool Knickers

2018-11-27 Thread 'Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch 
Jon, this may be worthy of a different thread, but to answer you here, my wife 
converted cotton Duluth “firehose” pants to knickers/breeks for me a few years 
ago, simply by making a cuff for with the right hem length and threading 1” 
wide elastic through it. Adjust elastic as desired, so you can get it on/off 
but it stays put, and all set!

With abandon,
Patrick

Re: [RBW] FS: Brand New Wool Knickers

2018-11-27 Thread Jon Spangler 
Has anyone in RivWorld made knickers from a pair of wool trousers or a 
pattern?

I just found some likely candidate pants for my knickers-conversion project 
and am looking for 
a pattern for the below-the-knee closure if anyone has one already. (I am 
planning to use velcro.)

Thanks in advance for your help!
