Mole skin trousers.

[Jagare]

When I lived and stalked in England I normaly wore moleskin trousers. I had two pairs made by a small company in Hebden Bridge. The trousers were high back, double seat a knees. One pair wore out many years ago and the second pairs still have a bit of life in them but seem to have shrunk, must be a damp wardrobe?
I've just had made a new pair by a company called, Spencers trousers, www.spencers-trousers.com.
Superbly tailored trousers in heavy weight moleskin, high fish tail back, double seat and knees. So if anyone is looking for a good pair of stalking trousers with a touch of the old fashion I highly recommend Spencers trouser. They will of course make you a pair of normal mole skin trousers if you want.

It's on the website. Somewhat outside my price sphere.

Ah, didn’t look in detail. I usually pay £36 per pair for mine, so with your comment I might just pass without looking

I couldn't see an option for "double seat and knees" but even without that you are looking at £200 + postage:

£215 worth every penny. Made to measure. It's only money. if you've got it flaunt it . Life's hard being a pensioner.

Love a pair of moleskins! Charity shops for me too, often pick them up for less than a tenner and if they get ripped beyond repair I just buy another pair

The only thing that puts me off charity shop trousers is that you don’t know if the previous owner wore underwear

Best not purchase a pair from this Site, given the average age of the memebrship!
