I Have Pants! 13a

Description

Finally made myself a pair of steampunk pants. The first of several sets, they're certainly the prototype for others, and show me what I can do. I used a pair of dark green corduroys, specifically because corduroy has a certain connotation as being archaic and old. Corduroy was certainly in use during the Victorian era, and while denim was also, most people still THINK of denim as being more modern. Mind you, this won't stop me from tricking out some jeans.

I added three large copper eyelets to each leg. Large brass bolts, washers, and screws are affixed in each, which I can easily remove if I need to wash them or in hot weather for venting. I can likewise mix and match them to try out other styles, such as washers on the outside, bolts on the inside, so on. You'll also note the rolled cuffs and bits of flat brass wire holding them in place, a trick I developed to lift the cuffs of my pants up off of my boots and show them off. Also displayed are the latest version of my brass-fitted boots.

This outfit as a whole is in honor of my father, who passed away just over a month before these were taken (on October 7th). He was a retired Senior Chief Petty Officer in the navy, a medical corpsman, and a Vietnam veteran.

Featured are my Brass-Fitted Green Corduroy Pants, Storm Goggles, Navy Trooper Hat, blue frilled tie, Navy Blue Vest with Gold Buttons, Steampunk Pocket Compass, Silver Bracelet Watch Mark II, the Barbed's Baron's Glove, Steampunk Brass Knuckles Glove, Brass-Fitted Boots, One Piece pocket watch pendant, and brass goblin-face lapel pin.
