Pants

[Skeeter Lewis]

Here are some period pants in corduroy and wool...

[Grenadier]

Did you make these? I love those cords!

[Skeeter Lewis]

Thanks, Grenadier. Yes, I made them from the pattern sold by Laughing Moon Mercantile.

I've also made their Victorian work shirt.

[Grenadier]

Excellent work! I love corduroy trousers.

I like corduroy too, except in the snow, and then they really suck!

How about a 42 32 Nice work~

My first attempt at blue jeans - old time style. I didn't quite get the yoke to line up...

[GunClick Rick]

BY Golly i like those Skeeter! Nice watch pocket!

Very nice looking trousers. Where did you find the rivets, as I would like to make a pair for myself.

[Skeeter Lewis]

They're real rivets - hammered on my mini-anvil - and bought from Tandy Leather.
#12 rivets.....11282-01
Craftool setter....8110-01

If you haven't used real rivets before - don't worry: it's not as hard as you may think. Though with a name like Boilerplate you shouldn't need advice.....

Hi,

Joanne of Laughing Moon is a member of our Old Sacramento Living History group. She used to have a Mercantile right in Old Sac and it was the place to go during breaks ... I miss her store and cheery positive presence ...I wish it was still open!

Joanne is much into the history of garments, and buying clothes made from her patterns is the same as buying antiques ,,,, only the fabric is new and doesn't split the way old fabrics do ...
