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.  although the fabric has been cut on the same grain, but in different ornentation, in some lights this can just about be spotted - if you look very closely!
