Gustav Hose

These pants are the perfect complement to our Gustav jacket. Both in combination are modeled on military dresses of the 15th and 16th centuries. The pants themselves are closed with a lashing strap at the hip, but can also accommodate a belt. For this we have attached belt loops. At the front of the crotch is an indicated shame capsule quilted in herringbone pattern. 

A beautiful detail to lean the pants even closer to models from the era. 

A very becoming jacket with a small stand-up collar. It is closed with laces in the front and has got stitched eyelets. The lining inside matches the respective outside colour.

The "Jörg" doublet is a bicoloured, slit jacket made along historical patterns of the legendary lansquenet mercenaries. It is not certain, where this fashion originated from, but historians suggest, that lansquenets started cutting their clothing, for it was too tight for them to fight in them. This is, how this fashion came along with the famous mercenaries. The doublet is elaboratly cut and made from robust, high quality canvas material. It allows a very free movement when fighting. The five antique finished brass buttons in the front allow the doublet to be closed on cooler days. The lacing along the sleeves leads to the typical buffy look of the lansquenet fashion.

This doublet may not only be used for the reenactment of lansquenet, they are also well suited for nobility, merchants or pirates costumes.

Material: 100% cotton

Be brave, take risks, prepare for the unexpected

The Single Cotton Hose from Epic Armoury is a typical example of medieval fashion worn throughout the middle ages and renaissance period. This rough cotton hose is sold by the unit so you may personalize the look of your Larp character by mixing colors. Whether you play a peasant or squire, the hose should be a staple in your period wardrobe. Cotton hosen are both comfortable, and practical to wear during hot summer months and can be worn with braies for a typical historical look. This legging has a drawstring and can be attached to braies or a belt (sold separately), and is made to withstand the rigours of battle.

The sword sits in the baldric hanging down from your shoulder, faithful to its master despite the challenges. It has been a long and dusty road--and your uniform down to your Medieval Pants is covered in dirt and grime--but that sword has remained at your side through it all.

As your infantry unit comes to a halt, there is the tension one always feels before the fight. You resist the anxiety, because the moment you step into battle all of that must fade away. It will be you fighting alongside your fellow soldiers, and it will be the sword hanging in your trusted baldric that keeps you alive.

DETAILS

The pants are fitted with a cotton drawstring at the waist to keep the pants in place while leaving sufficient room for a proper belt. The Pants Medieval are fully compatible with other Epic Armoury clothes and armours, allowing you the freedom to personalize your character's gear.

HISTORY

• Worn by the Landsknecht, a colourful and well known mercenary group from Germany during 15th- and 16th-century Europe
• A great way to show off wealth with the excess use of fabric
• Design is similar to the Pluderhose, a 15th century design that fastened at the knee

This is a bi-coloured pair of slitted trousers made along the fashion of the lansquenets. It is not certain where this fashion originated from, but historians suggest that lansquenets started cutting their clothing in the late 15th century for it was too tight for them to properly fight in. This would be the origin of the typical fashion these legendary mercenaries came to be known for.

The Jörg trousers are made from robust, high-quality canvas material. Their generous cut allows great freedom of movement in combat. The waistband may be closed by means of two buttons in ancient brass finish. Cotton laces give rise to the typical puffy legs of lansquenet fashion.

These trousers are not only suitable for portraying these famous lansquenets, but also for re-enacting courtiers, merchants, or pirates.

Who wears short shorts?

Mytholon's Franklin pants are perfectly suited for pirates or seamen.
These pants boast a straight cut and end just above the knees. The codpiece at the front hides the two buttons the pants are closed with, and it looks nice to boot. The codpiece is detachable. The waistband can be adjusted with a strap in the back. The belt loops at the waistband provide the possibility to wear a belt or a colourful strip of cloth. The pant legs each have a strip of five buttons that can be opened for more comfort.
