I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

In spite of having way too many patterns already, this is one I just have to try. I'm a believer, easily fooled.

Re: The Pant
Now that's curious. I would have expected the purple silk to be darker with the coating. This should work for several reasons. I'd give it a go. Nice tie.

Haven't fished it yet Bill, tied them up for this Saturday's tenkara outing, I'll give a report.
William - the cement is quite thick so it doesn't soak into the silk.

Re: The Pant
Very cool idea.
Nice hint on the thicker cement that builds up rather than soaks in.
