Well Roaddog, they're just some lite weight brown leather I came across probably 20+ years ago. I sewed a tab on the inside and outside of each pant leg where I wanted them to stay, then used some rawhide boot lace to tie them there so they wouldn't fall down. After that I used a whole punch to close them up on the outside with some beads on the leather - then tied a leg (legging) sash around each one and that's purty much it. Nothing fancy, but something that's been workable for years.  :bl th up :shake
