: I've got some info on the pants from Peter Botwright...he IS planning on having his own version for sale at a more reasonable price than Noel Howard once he gets a hold of an original pair to make a pattern, which should be soon. Apparently he was going to get a pair from "Noel Howard in his ivory tower" but Mr. Howard wanted to produce the pants himself, so he and Peter had "a bit of a falling out". Peter said that Noel Howard took the patterns from Angels and Burmans where he was production manager to his new company, MBA costume. He didn't seem to think that was right though, and that the patterns should have stayed at Burmans. When asked about the shirt he said, "Ah well, now that's another thing altogether." He's talked to the original makers but few can remember exactly how they made it. There you have it folks, straight from the horse's mouth!

: Cheers,

This is great news, Abner! Appreciate you keeping us up to date, and keep up the good work. I received an email from Peter before he left on vacation, but hadn't heard anything since. At least the pants are still on the drawing board and coming from Wested. Regards. Michaelson
