Picked up these buckskin pants second-hand, but they didn’t fit. So I took them apart and rebuilt them to suit my life in the bush — reshaped the legs, added ankle ties, and brought them back to work. Clothing made by hand feels different.

00:00I didn't always want to be an outdoor teacher. I wanted to be a lumberjack. No, just kidding.
00:05The other day on Facebook Marketplace, I found somebody who had a listing for a beautiful set
00:11of buckskin pants that are like 40 some odd years old. So I jumped on them, you know, I went and I
00:17picked them up, brought them home, and I went to try them on. And I'm like, you know, they fit good
00:22here. Oh no, the leg tubes. They don't fit my giant slavic legs. The leg tubes, they don't,
00:29they don't fit. What do I do? So what I did was I ended up taking them and cutting them
00:36from the ankles all the way up and literally putting this patch in them that you can see
00:40right here. So I put a patch of buckskin in it. And then on the bottom, that's my requirement.
00:45I have to have a little ties down there to cinch them. And there we go. Beautiful set of buckskin
00:52pants that now I have for, you know, teaching students out in the woods, chopping wood, whatever
00:58I need to do. So yeah, I'm super, super happy with these. They've got like, they came with
01:02the suspenders, they've got like all the weird button flap thing at the front, which is kind
01:07of neat. They look good from the back. Pretty happy with that. Yeah. So anyways, I literally
01:13built my own set of buckskin pants out of an old antique pair. And now I've got another pair.
01:21Thanks for watchin.
