    I'm just joking, Jock.

    I really would rather knee breeches, hose in or out, would come back into fashion for dress up or casual.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    Ted,

    Perhaps you should try colonial reenacting. They wear knee breeches on a regular basis - and I can attest that they are quite comfortable. In fact, I'm looking forward to attending a 5 day event this time next month where I will be attired in knee breeches every day (except if I decide to wear a great kilt instead) - and not think twice about it.

    I suppose that is an option again. I did have a very short time with the reenacting folk just before I joined the forum. Also, I do have the colonial/George Washington length hair, and wear it tied back as they might.

    Still, I think a non- reenacting,and a bit modern, style for knee breeches et al, would be nice.
