They wore them in 15th c. Spain per The Hispanic Costume Book 1480-1530. They adopted them from the Moors sarawil and were made of linen and were tied with a drawstring around the waist. They reached to just below the knee where they met the stockings. -- Aspasia Moonwind _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
