Sorry to hijack this thread but I'd like to add that if someone is interested in bias cut, close fitting historical trews, Missy Clark of Barkertown Suttlers can custom make them. Anyway, back to the original topic...

I never thought I liked modern trews as I associated them with loud golf pants worn by old men. However, I saw several men of varying ages wearing trews at the Loon Mountain games last weekend and was surprised how nice they looked. I think the secret to looking good in trews is what you wear with them. The most well turned out trews wearers I saw were wearing outfits that would have gone just as well with a kilt (wide belt, brogues, short jacket, etc). It's great that these are being offered by the Scottish Tartans Museum as they seem to be a lot harder to come by than the kilt.
