Retro breeches

[Cobwanted]

Just been looking at some old pictures of my mum in her hunting days (1950's) when they wore fantastic breeches - the ones with alot of extra material around the thighs. They were so faltering - why don't they make breeches like that anymore? Or do they? Does anyone know where I might be able to get some???

I always wanted a pair of them when I was little. My favourite film was (and still is!) National Velvet. Elizabeth Taylor wears a pair of breeches with the biggest sticky-outy thigh bit EVER!

They would be fantastic to hide my fat legs in!

Elephant ears they call them now, I had one pair of cavalry twill jodhpurs with real suede knee pads, but impossible to wash, just had to brush with soapy nail-brush.
