We have now finished testing the 2nd version of the knickers, and they work wonderfully--comfortable on or off the bike in both hot and cool weather, good looking, and durable. Guys keep asking where they can get theirs, and women think they're "just so cute!"
We've improved the pocket, loosened the leg a bit, lengthened the cuff vent and added a gusset for both warmth and elegance. We're still using cheap test wool, not the gabardine from which we'll make the production versions, and they're still great pants.
Check out the new pictures--and compare the new version with the original, the pix of which we've kept in tne slideshow.
As always, feel free to send comments.
