Leggings/GaitersLeggings are well represented in the images. However, hese are European-style that extend over the knee. White and brown are represented. We’ve already seen the image of our tool sharpener with the well detailed gaiters. Here are a few others. I wish I had a higher resolution image of this painting as it seems to have a lot of detail. Note the gaiters with stirrup. No buttons are apparent. ‘Rose’ colored waistcoat and buckskin tone breeches. There’s something unsettling about this image for me. I’m not sure what it is, but it creeps me out. The fella on the left has white gaiters with stirrups and garters holding them up. No buttons are detailed. This finely dressed gentleman has white gaiters without stirrups.

Do you think the gun of the gentleman standing could be a half-stock fowler? <button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button> Spence Absolutely half-stock, but also very short! An upland fowling piece rather than the long-barreled waterfowlers.

These image ‘rights’ companies drive me crazy, but at least I could get these details. Buttons on the leggings. The waistcoat is actually stripped!

Leggings/Gaiters.... View AttachmentThere’s something unsettling about this image for me. I’m not sure what it is, but it creeps me out.... The character on the viewer's right has a head that is way too small for his body. His legs and feet are of odd proportion to his body as well. It is posed strangely and has an odd "lighting" to it. If I am honest, I find many, if not most of the period paintings I see odd or a bit creepy except for a few that show working people doing their job or other low middle to lower class people doing their daily tasks. The positions of their bodies and especially of their hands and arms often seems very unnatural and/or feminine. Not necessarily a bad thing, just odd. Sometimes this unnatural look can bring about a creepy effect when other factors of the painting are included.

Ah! I DO LOVE Moroccan red! Our man paranger crafted a lovely single pouch for me. I’m overwhelmed with how ‘correct’ it feels for the impression I’m creating. Well done, friend!

Agree ‘nock. The more natural the pose and circumstance in the image, the better it feels. Those two guys… sheesh!

Another, The Labourer's Luncheon, by George Morland, 1797, and a detail showing laced-up high-top shoes/half boots. I have ads of "shoe boots" for sale, and "English shoe boots" on a runaway, don't know exactly what those might have been. Spence

Great images, Spence. I wonder how early the ads start for a lace-up boot. That 1797 image is great. And very clear. I haven’t gotten to the ankle or half-boot images yet.

It looks grey to me, I see no tan. We need to remember that colors don't always come through as original in files traded around on the web. You like tan? I can make it tan. Spence

Great find! Not black. I’d say gray, and certainly a lighter shade than most hats of any hue.
