The link with the trousers was from an on-line shop selling armour, clothes and such. But it is VERY amateur-like, most of the clothes are rather fantasy than historical. But I just saw that complicated fall-down system and didn't know anything about it, so I thought I should ask. I know 2 kinds of trousers (hosen), probably the two Suzi Clarke mentioned. I guess both are available at historic enterprises: http://www.historicenterprises.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=6 As I said, I've never paid much attention to the leg wear, I knew only that very tight hosen were worn during the later middle ages. I thought peasants and working people wore something more comfortable, but - now after re-searching in all my pictures- it seems I was wrong... oops, I really have a gap on that topic... I'm interested in 12-14c middle and western Europe, like Anglo-Saxon and around. Not southern Europe like Spain and Italy.

What place and time are you researching? 11th-century Anglo-Saxon men wore different leg coverings than 15th-century men in Italy, but both are from the middle ages.
