Ketill Pants Canvas

Mytholon Ketill Canvas Pants

Attention: The upper seam on the hip is really wide. Do not wonder, but see the Rus pants cut as an authentic (and surprisingly: very comfortable) way of wearing them.

These pants were made following the example set by the Rus-pants. A early viking pattern, that allows enomous movement. The pants are being tied on the waistband and just below the knee. The calf is fitted tight, so you can also use northmans' style ties for the calfs.

The folds on the hip are moved around the waistline and the pants tied even closer.

The measurements are made along the calf parts, depending on the circumfence of your calfs to fit through.

Material: 100% Cottoncanvas

Sizes: XS/S; M and L/XL

Colours:Black, Brown, White and Beige

The Romans control the British Isles--and your home. What was once your tribe has been taken from you in the name of the Emperor, but you will not be silenced.

You look the part of a leader in your Battle Skirt as you meet with your warriors in secret. You are plotting a revolt against your oppressors, the spark that will ignite the fire and the war that is sure to follow. You will not stand down. You are prepared to do everything it takes to win back what is rightfully yours.

You’ve had a busy day in the market, visiting the bustling shops and running necessary errands. Thankfully you were comfortable in your Basic Dress, a blessing considering the amount of walking you’ve done simply going to and from town!

Now you have returned to the farm, unloading your baskets of odds and ends on your table. Your family is excited to see you, offering you warm broth from a kettle on the fire. As exciting as the market may be, it’s good to be in the comfort of your home.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Basic Dress is a simple but graceful slip-on dress with long sleeves designed to function on its own or to be combined with other Epic Armoury clothes. The V-cut neckline and wrists are embroidered with a contrasting broad stitch, while the bottom hem is trimmed with matching edging. Made from comfortable, soft cotton, this dress reaches from the shoulders to the ankles and has a comfortably wide skirt to allow for easy movement.

The Basic Dress is a great start to a special costume. While inspired by Renaissance design, this dress can easily be used by almost any character or culture with a little creativity.

HISTORY

• Also referred to as a “kirtle,” which is a garment worn over a chemise or smock
• Popular garment worn by middle class women in the 1400-1600s

You tighten your belt another notch over your hose and Braies, frowning at the watered-down soup over the fire. It’s been a long winter, and you and your family aren’t sure you’re going to have enough food. As you consider ways you might be able to afford some meat--maybe you can do some work for a merchant in town?--there’s an anxious knock on the door.

“Raiders!” shouts the messenger on your doorstep. “Raiders are coming! Every able person is being called to fight!”

Suddenly an empty belly is the least of your worries.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Braies are roomy, lightweight undergarments worn like shorts or with hose. These cotton braies are secured with hidden drawstrings at the waist, adjustable to match your size. The knee-length legs tie around the upper shin with a second set of drawstrings. Offering a surprising amount of support and coverage, these braies really demonstrate how awful crotch support used to be. Period-correct lice can be added for additional authenticity.

Braies have been worn by all strata of society and make a great basis for almost any character costume.

HISTORY

• Historically used as a men’s undergarment beneath chausses or hose tied onto the braies’ drawstring
• An ancient garment of German-Celtic origin that became popular in the Roman Empire and in the successor kingdoms
