Those look like something Old Town would put out. Good stuff.

he 1860s photograph also shows the man on the right wearing very wide trousers, that appear flared (although this might just be the way he has crossed his legs).
'The Fashion Detectives' coming to the History Channel very soon.
Looking at the picture, I think it might be earlier. Something about the look makes me think pre-Great War.
i might have to try and find some really thick cream flannel to make a similar trouser.
Ok, but what to dance? The black bottom?A good tip, if you can't find the weight you are looking for, is to process your own wool. Simply put some decent weight white wool in a tub, top up with hot water and soap, then dance around in it for a couple of hours. I have managed to get up to 800 gsm wool with this method.
Although the Oxford bags passed out of fashion in the 1920s, the sporting 'Fluffies' continued to be popular.
