Keeping the briars off your legs

**Robinhood** · 26th May 06, 05:45 PM

These may not be scottish, but they sure do keep the
briars from attacking your legs. I just bought a pair and
found them to be very comfortable. The tall ones are
about 18 inched high. They are very soft, like a glove
for your feet. Also the "tongue" is sewed to the sides
all the way up, so it never falls to one side. You can get
them at Atlanta Cutlery. (Search for "boots")

Rather unconventional. Where would you be inclined to wear them?

While I have never worn them with my kilt (ok I have with my great kilt to ren fairs before I got a pair of better boots), I have had a pair of the tall ones for over 15 years. They are very comfortable, and I did wear them often back when I wore p&#ts.

Probably not considered too unconventional by
native americans. Even if it were, I wouldn't let
that bother me. I'm more concerned about
functionality than fashion, particularly out in
the wilderness.

Scott is close. I do wear them in the woods, as
well as the fields. Along with a workmans canvas
kilt, there is only a small bit of skin around the
knees that is vulnerable to briars.

Since Christmas I've been using these. In winter they fit over boots, early spring over sneakers, and for the last month I've worn them over sandals. You can feel briars when you walk into them, but they don't normally catch or stick. And there's the bonus of being waterproof - I've gone through calf-deep bog-muck in these and stayed dry.
