Jodhpurs / Breeches

[miss1934]

I am looking for movie director style jodhpurs that will show up well on stage. Don't worry, I have conditioned my actors to treat all vintage items respectfully. I was just wondering if for a truly emphasized thigh, would I be better off going with a women's pair? For some reason they have always looked more emphasized to me. Thanks so much,

Anne

I don't know which ones you would be better off using, because I'm not in the film industry. However, I did want to tell you that over the weekend I came across four different pairs of ladies jodphurs up for auction on ebay, just in case you were looking for them.

All the women's jods meant to be worn with a riding boot that I've seen in the last 20 years are rather close fitting in the thigh and made from some combination of modern stretch miracle fabrics (poly, spandex, etc.).

If you're looking for that classic 1920s "movie director' look, you might be able to pick up a repro pair in khaki cotton twill from either What Price Glory or WW2 Impressions. Their products are sized for men, but you could take one of their smaller sizes and alter to fit.

Alternatively, you could also try an english jodphur. These were made to be worn with ankle boots and as a result have a close fitting full length leg, usually with a turnup. I've seen these in equestrian catalogs, but again, made from modern stretch fabrics.

Cheers!

I picked up my breeches on e-Bay pretty cheaply, and they flare quite a bit. They are East Germam motocycle police breeches, or something like that. They have a vintage cut, but are wool and will not need any pampering.

Heck, if I'd had on a black beret in this picture, plus one of those lens thingys thta directors wear around their neck, and voila!

Amazingly I went to an auction last weekend that had three pairs of men's jodhpurs all with size 31 waists! This happens to be the exact size I was looking for my actor and I won them all at five bucks a pop! I believe that the fly less pair was a woman's, but the other two feature button flys and real leather knee patches. It was very exciting. I also took home set of 20's silk lounging pajamas, two thirties cocktail dresses, a few women's suits, eight 30's and 40's hats and three pairs 30's shoes! It was most fortunate. Thank you for all your help!

any way i have a pair of boy scout breeches. my question is are they from the 1930,s ? and how much are they worth ? could you tell me somthing about them. thanks

 

[ramblinBOB]

hi does any one know anything ?

 

[Mike K.]

I'm certainly no expert but they actually look to be around 1950s vintage (at least from what I've seen to compare them to). I'm just getting back into Scouting myself and want to put together a vintage scoutmaster uniform. Try searching some of the Scouting collectors books (I'll be doing the same). We should be able to come up with something! I've got a vintage Boy Scout uniform thread started elsewhere in this section (http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=12437) if you want to consolidate threads and join me there.

Jodphurs?

Does anyone know of a source for traditional jodphurs - the ones with the straps and buckles, not the modern ones with elastic side panels?

 

[Lone_Ranger]

Depends on how much you want to pay for them. Dehner makes them with one strap.

http://www.dehner.com/customshoes_paddock.html

They are custom made. With the price tag to go with it.

The off-the-rack Jodphurs seem to be limited to either the elastic sided ones like you mention. However, if you're willing to go with the laced ones you could probably get off-the-rack and save a bit.

Banana Republic BR Monogram - $275. They don't look to have elastic, but I can't tell for certain.

Those look like my first pair of jodhpur boots from back in the day. I wore them with brown jodhpurs that flared out at the thigh (before jods and riding breeches were made from stretch material).

 

[Tomasso]

not the modern ones with elastic side panels?

Them newfangled elastic jobs have been around since the 1850's.

 

[J. M. Stovall]

I thought jodhpurs were pants.

 

[just_me]

I thought jodhpurs were pants.

They are, but one style of boots worn with them are called jodhpur boots. The other style of boots worn with jods are called paddock boots. They're similar but either lace up the front or zip up the front.

To have been correct, and clearer, the OP should have called the subject Jodhpur Boots?
