Oh Trews, where art thou

[Nick the DSM]

The previous trews thread made a little while ago made me want to get a pair. Thing is I'm not looking for the loose kind, I'm looking for the tight kind that Puffer and his pics depicted. I've looked all over the sponsors here and some others but no find. Is there another place where I could get them or would they have to be had knit??

Thanks

What Price Glory sells them but only in even sizes 34-46, which I suspect would be too big? I'm not sure if they're loose or tight style as there's no picture on their site.

yeah, too big...LOL.

Not sure what your budget is but they might fit the bill. Sorry I missed you at the games last weekend.

Trews... as in military trews, with their high waist and drain pipe legs, or the 18th century kind, skin tight, and made from tartan cut on the bias? Or did you have some sort of knit trews in mind, something akin to the bottom half of a pair of long johns?

GREAT points.

The later date military style are readily available. The 18th centry style can be obtained from period clothing makers ( note these are the same as civilian or military. "trousers" of the period. ( except made of "tartan" material.)

As to the "knit" style, alas, the only sourse I know of is to have them made ???

Puffer,

I'd hate to have to knit a pair of trews. That would be a lot of engineering.
I have a pair of Royal Stewart trews. I'll dig them out and see what size they are, and possibly post them here.

Drain pipe legs and skin tight are same aren't they?

I'm looking for the skin tight kind, the ones that the museum sells are the looser ones.
