So, I want to get my hands on a pair of breeches, or breech style trousers. You know the type with a flared hip and tight down the rest of the leg/calf.

So, I want to get my hands on a pair of breeches, or breech style trousers. You know the type with a flared hip and tight down the rest of the leg/calf. Think along the lines of vintage equestrian wear, or German WWII officer pants. Though with a slightly less dramatic flare on the hips.

The style was sort of popular with designers for women a couple of years ago:

and popular in the 30's and 40's:

That sort of thing. High waist, flared hips.

Anyway, I've been looking all over the internet and my brain is starting to spasm, and the best I can find is some sort of equestrian wear websites, but to be honest they look a bit shít and I'd rather try them on before I buy them.

So I'm wondering if anyone knows where one might pick up a pair. Or failing that, would anyone know of a tailor in Dublin that would make them at a reasonable price?

Thanks,
Karl

Also, I'm a dude.
