    Knickers??

    I recently bought some fencing knickers from ##### vendor. When they arrived, they were PANTS. They look dumb.

    Does any vendor sell inexpensive knee-length knickers?

    While I'm all for saving the innocent from wrongful charges, ordering knickers and getting pants is kind of inexcusable. What company did this to you?

    having said that, have you contacted them to find out what was up?

    Having said *that* I use generic AF knickers, and if you don't mind a bit of shoddy stitching, they're a bargain ;D
    No really, just hit them before they hit you.

    See, this vendor (don't want to mention names yet), listed ALL knickers as pants. I didn't know what to buy, so I bought the cheapies. Whoops!

    Return them and purchase from a vendor that lists what they sell as knickers. If the vendor listed them as pants, then you got what you ordered just not what you wanted.

    Most of them do, and some call them fencing pants, some call them knickers, and some call them breeches.

    Looking at the photo provided of the product usually helps. If they haven't bothered providing a photo then...

    That's where I got caught. I think I'll be reordering through someone else.

    This is a distinction American English really doesn't maintain.

    Odd - You've got photos of your uniforms up there.

    And here I'm always worried about my knickers being too short (I'm 6'4"). I KNOW I don't have enough overlap with my socks. Next time I order knickers I will be calling the vendor to make sure mine are long enough.
