As I said before, they're not joined hose, but you can see the partial lining at the top and the holes for points (lacing) very clearly. This is from Piero della Francesca's fresco cycle of the Legend of the True Cross in the San Frencesco choir chapel in Arezzo, Italy.

There's also St. Roch by Carpaccio in the Carrara Gallery, Bergamo. You can't tell how far down the lining goes, though.

I thought that one of Pisanello's hanged men also showed hose lining, but alas it does not.
