At GB lb 110 for each pair of plus fours -- that's $183/pr is dollars. You can get something as useful if not as elegant by simply cutting a nice pair of wool trousers -- not flannel; good twill, say-- off, hemming it and installing velcro straps. Or, a tailor can taper and put a band with buttons at the hem.
As for the elastic: that's what I did with my Swobo knickers to make them into plus fours: insert sturdy elastic into wide hem. But wool will give you that Tintin look as stiff cotton won't. http://tinyurl.com/3cofsf5 On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 6:53 AM, Scott G. <sco...@primax.com> wrote: > Found this on the CTC list, proper cycling attire for gentlefolk. > Just the source for CTC re-enactors, tweed runners and the Lake Pepin > faithful. > > https://www.spencers-trousers.com/index.php > Look under breeks and in special instructions > specify they are for cycling. > > Made in Yorkshire. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch?hl=en. > > -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW patrickmo...@resumespecialties.com A billion stars go spinning through the night Blazing high above your head; But in you is the Presence that will be When all the stars are dead.
