Needlecord Breeches

 A pair of Georgian breeches, in fashionable and, nowadays rare, cotton needle cord. Needle cord is a  lighter variety of corderoy and both textiles were used in the period - particularly for every day attire.

 This pair is a result of my  recent redrafting  and re-sizing of the pattern and as I am working on improving my breeches making skills, I will have a few of them appearing here  whenever I have time to play with self improvement :-)

  As it is a practice sample,  it might not be up to my usual standard, but it is perfectly wearable -  and offered at a reduced cost.

  Main features:

* made in beige needlecord, lined with linen. The linen shows some water damage ( leaking van...)

* fall front with plackets

* in seam side pockets

* back laced ( handstitched eyelets) for easy size adjustments

* velvet covered buttons

* buttons and ties at the knee
