	Two stroudcloth breechcloths with 'wormed' edges. The blue one is from the now-defunct Wooden Hamlet, the red is from Nathan Kobuck of Treaty Elm Traders.
A couple of pairs of mocassins. One is decorated with wool and deer hair cones, the other are plainer with a double sole.
	A pair of puckertoe, center seam moccasins made for my youngest son from deer hide Thin hide is much easier to pucker correctly--see my heavy, back/neck leather moccasins above.
