I'd give them five stars, but the buckle strap just falls short of holding them up on my bird legs. I used a leather punch for new holes, but while wearing them around as a trial just before attending a Renaissance Festival pirate weekend, I was sorry to see them drop towards my ankles. I expected the leather to be thinner than an expensive pair, but they're soft and flexible. That would be nice except that without some required stiffness, they just plunge to my ankles. I'd rate them even a star less but it wouldn't be fair. It's my body parts that need to lose that star. I'd welcome any suggestions for adding a stiffening material to the inside that wouldn't rub my legs to soreness. I WILL make these work.
Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]
