The bloomers were also called hose in England, though often with a modifier to denote the style: trunk hose, round hose, Spanish hose, slop hose (sometimes just called slops). The 16th century French- English dictionaries to which I have access call them chausses, and sometimes a modifier

Round hose, yes. I knew I was forgetting something. Trunk hose are all manner of hose covering the trunk (as opposed to nether hose, which cover the lower legs). But Round hose was the correct name for slops in and of themselves. Round paned hose when they have panes over them. Thank you
