Posted on Sunday, December 07, 2003 - 12:25 am GMT:        Hi Tron, The word Jodhpur was taken into the English language 150 years ago when England had a strong presence in India. Jodhpur is an Indian word for 'riding trousers'. These are very loose at the thigh, and quite tight over the lower leg, allowing riding boots to be worn over them. For example: I hope this helps, Gord. Information is everything Tron Journeyman Postacrat Username: Tron Post Number: 25 Registered: 08-2003 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!) Posted on Saturday, December 06, 2003 - 09:58 pm GMT:        A curious question from a less knowing person: Just exactly what is Jodpurs? In my past when practising horse-back riding I learned that "Jogphurs" was the name of a ankle-high riding-shoe made of leather with two long and crossed very typical leather straps. In this case Jodpurs seems to be some sort of pants, but what do they look like? /Tron Blackice Senior Postacrat Username: Blackice Post Number: 125 Registered: 05-2001 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!) Posted on Sunday, December 08, 2002 - 11:34 am GMT:        Hi All Does anyone have a good illustration or photo of Jodpurs. I used to have a pair from Ectomorph but sold them awhile back. I now need a good illustration or pattern for Jodurs. These are the not the Mountie style which I believe are called breaches. Best to e-mail them to me directly - thanks Mark
