Re: Socks over your pants?
This one, and burnishing the Enfield "bright" always gets 'em going. We like to do what we want to do. This is why I broadened my response a bit to encompass a certain philosophical point of view where this practice was concerned. The thought being...sometimes pants were tucked in the socks. It was done, so why was it done? What circumstances led to the practice? Of what use was it?
In nature, we know a certain characteristic serves only one of two purposes. Either to attract members of the opposite sex, or to assist in survival such as (in the case at bar) warding off pests, etc. It appears this practice falls in the later category. It's not what I think, it's what mother nature thinks...
