And now for the thrilling conclusion to this
two part tale. Nothing to out of the ordinary with the hemming and electronics pocket addition. We decided not to rebuild the ankle draw string because my calves are big enough that it would not get used. Other than that the pictures below tell the story.

On the whole they are super comfy to sit around the house in and my short session on the bike yesterday was just as nice. I hoping to make these a riding must have for the rest of winter and all of spring. I'll make the switch to shorts again when it starts to get hot.
Site WatchI was just recently introduced to
Velo Orange in my search for new bike parts. First they are located in Maryland so props to supporting a neighboring states small business. Second they have an amazing spread of new and old production parts and even create a lot of their own.

Nice! Might have to ride off your creative design for it is the most inexpensive way to get an awesome knickers!
Schweetness. The final product looks sharp. Are the pants pretty roomy? Did you get them from the army surplus store on Jeff Davis?
Some new riding pants for the spring would be nice. I might scraight up copy your idea, except I'd leave the buttons intact. It sounds like Mehtul is considering the same.
Velo Orange is flippin' great. It's Rivendell plus cool new bit, minus all the social philosophy and Robert Redford voice-overs.
Yes they are roomy and yes I get them at the army surplus on Jeff Davis.
