Hello All,
Delurking after a bit.
Got a small medieval faire to visit tomorrow, but realized that m'Lords pants dont fit....he does have an extra long shirt so we're now considering doing something like this pic (green guy, top row center)

Q is........what can we use for hose? Was hoping to find some at walmart, but m'Lord pointed out that likley they will be too see through. Is this the case? Or do we have to try to edit his old pants to fit?
...really should've checked our costumes before the night before...heh....
Thanks in advance!
Try women's exercise leggings out of a cotton/nylon mix. They won't be see-thru but should stretch to fit. I think you can get 'em at Walmart but I know they exist at target. They don't have "footsie" ones but the shoes should cover that anyway. ;)
This is where his excellency gets his tights.....err Hosen. :o

Nice, large and opaque.
Well I realize that you need them now and not in a few weeks but when you get the time, I strongly recommend these: http://www.tgertoggs.com/pages/pants_tights.shtml I have several pair and plan on getting several more. They are comfortable, 80% cottons 20% lycra so they breath very well AND they have a functioning cod piece so you don't have to get undressed to go to the privy! Not only that but they are very well constructed. You can get them in a single color simply by requesting. The other thing is I'm a big guy and finding tights that fit me were impossible until I found these.
Hi All,
Thanks for the links and suggestions!
We couldnt find the full legged hose (signs were on the rack for them, they were just all sold out), so we got tights...that turned out to be slightly see-through, so we had to layer two pairs to get 'em solid. Worked tho, and m'Lord's shirt was well long enough to prevent any embarassment, and I must say he looked darned good! (Pics later if i can remmeber to download them off the camera).
