BREEKS! OK. I gained some pounds and nuthin' fits! #205253 10/09/10 12:34 AM

None of my hunting clothes fit from the waist down except socks and boots! It seems NOBODY here who used to sell breeks ain't anymore, or are out of business completely. I like using them with rubber boots and tall leather/cordura ones. My leather pants won't fit either, ditto for my old Filson double tin pants. Does anyone out there know where a guy can get a pair of breeks at a decent (i.e.fair) price? I'm racing against the clock! Many Thanks for any help - Marc

Works like a charm and is fairly inexpensive. When an old man dies a library burns to the ground. (Old African proverb)

Yeah IO got a beautiful pair from a friend who found them at a tag sale or Salvation Army store, something along those lines. \ They're great for thick woods! I remember an article about hunting in Sweden in a Shooting sportsman about 10 - 12 years ago. The guy was wearing some and I thought, "cool, and it makes perfect sense". THEN....Check your Double Gun Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3 (Autumn 2008) page 16....He's not me, but the pants are similar and I DO favor blackpowder fowlers and rifles as of late. Cosmic, ya remember? But now I'm Leslie West, I gotta drop 20 pounds!!!!
