A quick survey of my Elizabethan portrait resources shows that paned slops were the most common, but there are several pieces of pictorial evidence which show non-paned slops. If you go to this link ( http://www.elizabethan-portraits.com/Various_4.htm ) and scroll most of the way down the page you will find a wood cut of 'A Workman' done in 1569 which clearly shows unpaned slops. Also if you check 'A Fete At Bermondsey' by Joris Hofnagel, you will see a wide variety of clothing worn by Elizabethans and there are several in the painting which appear to be unpaned slops- particularly a man dancing to the right front of the painting in a bluish jerkin with pale slops and hose. My guess that while non-paned slops are not a reenactorism, they are also not the norm as far as we can tell from period artwork.

So far I've not been able to find a pictorial or extant example of pre 1600 plain trunkhose (despite the number of examples I see in this style in modern costuming) I'm not going to actually make a pair of paned trunkhose (as this plus a doublet have to be complete by Easter) but I would like to know whether it is period or a reenactorism. Any leads on period examples of non paned trunkhose would be greatly appreciated.
