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:

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.
Gwen at Historic Enterprises has a good reputation in the Living
History world in England. And her things always look good. So yes, I
think that should be what you are looking for.
