a lot thicker than I was thinking, feel like...
							
		 
		
			Looking forward to wearing them in my golf Tournament
		
		
		
 
   
 
 
		
		
			
									Perfect for winter cycling
							
		 
		
			I needed something warm to bike to banks and other businesses.
Biking out fits don't cut it.
Paired with over the knee wool socks and a nice vest and overcoat, these knickers fit the bill.
The wool content isn't as great as I'd hoped for, but the synthetic lining makes peddling comfortable.

			This was a perfect addition to my new Victorian Santa suit.  My niece (costume designer for a big Vegas show) made me a new vest and coat - but we needed the perfect late 19th century pants.  The Gray Herringbone Tweed knickers are a perfect "second suit" along with the Olive Herringbone Tweed trousers I also purchased from the Emporium.  Santa will get lots of "looks" this season!

									Great part of a Norfolk suit
							
		 
		
			I have several Norfolk jackets in pure wool (some bespoke and some off the peg).  I have always wanted a Norfolk suit but they're pretty uncommon now except if you go the bespoke route.  When I saw Historical Emporium's offering I snapped it up in my size hoping that the 38 waist trousers would be right and it was just about perfect. I'd like a lightly higher rise but that's all personal preference and the pleats probably push us into 1920s or 1930s territory but I love pleats and am glad to have them even if they're not part of the Edwardian aesthetic the Norfolk suit is part of.  As part of my Norfolk suit this will join my other Nofolks quite proudly.
The button fly, as clearly described in the listing, is a great touch (though it can be finicky, and this is from someone who has a number of corduroys and smart trousers with button flies, but not so finicky that they're a drawback).

			The wool knickers are super comfortable for hiking in the White Mountains, thin enough not to overheat you but the wool keeps warm if the weather turns foul (which it inevitably does). Having your lower legs free gives you additional mobility and ease of stride while keeping your knees covered for scrambling up and over rocky spots.
		
		
		
 
   
 
 
		
		
		
			As usual, historical Emporium sells high quality clothing. The trousers are great, and are made with quality fabric. I highly recommend them
		
		
		
 
   
 
 
		
		
		
			Wonderful material, great fit....
		
		
		
 
   
 
 
		
		
		
			Great knickers, but i thought they had a zipper fly because the description wasn't real clear. Button fly is ok but challenging to do up at times.
