Patrick the Deacon: can you point me to the source for your moleskins? I made several pairs of very nice riding knickers out of good quality men's dress pants, simply by having them hemmed 6 or 8" below knee, and having velcro straps added. I still have one pair, and I dearly wish I hadn't disposed of the very nice heavy twill gabardine pair I foolishly sold. But of course, while these are fine down to the 20sF, I have windproof tights for colder.
