Tartan trews?

[Kermit]

Not a kilt question, hence a new thread. I once saw a fellow wearing tartan (plaid) military-style narrow-fall trousers, and I've never got it out of my head. Anyone know who makes the pattern for those trousers? I actually used that pattern many years ago to make some buckskin "pants" that I still wear. Can't recall whose pattern it was. And since matching tartan patterns a seams is more than tricky, any recommendations for someone who can sew such a garment?

I'm waiting for Puffer to chime in here.....

Contrary to "popular "thoughts", these were worn by many if not trhe most "Scottish regiments. ( from early on until today.

Here is an old picture of me wearing my MoD 1990s Seafoth

Well People, the "old man"", has basically "fanned out" Have yet to find any tailoring patterns for Military Taryan trews, ( either modern era or earlier.)



Even the MoDs  for sale on the web are drying up. ( but some are still out there, you just have to search & be patient.

As to having new ones made, there are some "tailors" on the net that say they make them.
Just a word of "CAUTION", many, who make the claim, are not "really" ( Be sure that they have the Military waist, that leg seam is on INSIDE ( Not Outside ) & they are 16oz +)

Here is one that looks Good ( actually would be period ) - http://www.highlandclans.com/Tartan_Tre ... _16oz.html
