Fashion Friday, Puttees

 
  In the comments on post on the Gouldcar a few days ago, there were people lamenting the demise of  jodphurs- sorry, jodhpurs as a fashion accessory. They used to be an accepted part of motorcycling attire. honestly who wouldn't be more comfortable with weird useless leg flaps, errr... flapping in the wind at 50 mph. 
  Gentlemen, I bring to you a genuinely useful accessory for leg wear, puttees. As the ad says, they're handy for active wearers everywhere, go tramping right. I can visualize them becoming de rigeur for the 21st C businessman, perhaps in patterns that match their ties, the perfect accessory for the man who has embraced the Thom Brown suit.

That was like $60-70 for a pair back then.
