Its a buckaroo bobbins pattern that I got from braintan.com. I saddle stitched the entire pants because the guy who showed me how to sew only showed me that stitch . Now I know a few more but I won't ever have to worry about my pants coming apart on me... Thanks bro.

Very good Bama , and I know it's a ton of work. The fringe alone is a fair amount of work. The saddle stitch is the best way I've seen yet , unless you want to spend the off season sewing all over again. Using a welt is a really smart thing too. You can add it later if you want, but along the edges of the "flap" you might want to add a reinforcement like these. I could post a pic of my own, but this was easy to find.

Also Bama, later on as you wear those they are going to stretch , eventually you'll have to do an overhaul. What helps the most is adding a liner out of cloth to the waistband. Just sew it into the waistband. I use a linen/hemp fabric i buy from period fabrics. Cotton will do , just machine wash the material first and let it shrink, I cut a piece twice the width of the waistband , then fold it in half and sew it in. It was done on many originals. Some originals had the entire pant lined with wool, thats a good option for really cold weather.

You can't tell from the picture, but I actually did line the waistband with osnaburg. It has still stretched though... I'm probably just going to add braintan suspenders so it won't matter. I guess thats why most of the mountain men in the sketches have at least one suspender. You're definately right about the edges of the flap. I have been thinking I needed to do something with it. The flap has stretched since I made it so it sags a little bit. Maybe I'll do that at the rendezvous coming up . They won't mind a guy sitting around in his undies sewing on his pants will they?

That is exactly how I made mine that are on the previous page, TM. Anything that uses a pattern can be made with buckskin..pretty neat. I think I double stitched the seams even. Then I dyed the brain tan blue with rit and well the leather needs more OIL now! Good job!

I just made myself a new pair. Used an old pair of jeans for a pattern. I kind of erred on the loose side, might have to take in the waste, but here they is.
