Feeling good

Well here is my first pair of long pants.
All buckskin except the antler button (threaded with buckskin cordage, pockets and fly).
People often ask how long? Well I didn't hunt these two animals (big bucks, I have long legs!) but from skinning (with Jon) two animals is about 20 minutes, 12 hours to tan each hide is 24 hours and 20 minutes, designing the pattern, 3 hours, cutting, sewing and dancing, 4 hours. Brings a grand total of 31 hours and 20 minutes (approx. of course).
I've never grown and spun cotton or hemp or kept sheep or alpaca, but I figure time wise, and the life that these pants will lead, they may be around longer than I am for a little time worked!

Feeling Good,
Ben.
