It will be you fighting alongside your fellow soldiers, and it will be the sword hanging in your trusted baldric that keeps you alive.

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

A nice, jet natural drum without any superfluent detailing. The upper rim is painted in a different colour than the rest of it and therefore increases the instruments appearance.
Great to combine with rustic costumes and for groups: be it beating the rhythm of a march or just accompany the evenings dance.
This drum is covered with a natural hide (goat) and has a deep sound to it.

Lansquenets (Landsknecht in German) were ferocious mercenaries from the fifteenth and sixteenth century, oftenly German, having a big reputation for their efficiency but also their brutality.

Dressed in a flamboyant style typical of the Renaissance, the majority were pikemen, but the Elite Doppelsöldner were the most feared for the carnage their halberds and large two handed broad swords. eaved in their path.

In addition to the large, low hats crowned with large feathers and doublets with puffed sleeves., The lansquenets adopted tights of different colors and developed a style by cutting their doublet to draw "folds" of shirt through. This outfit expressing arrogance and non-conformity had a major influence on the fashion of the Renaissance.

These two-tone, lansquenet split trousers are made from durable light coton and cut in a very elaborate pattern. The waist contains a thick drawstring on the inside that is used to tie the pants tightly to the wearer's body. The belt is further closed by buttons on the front that will finish to maintain it.

The wide thighs allow for ample leg movements and the tightened at the hips and ankles adds to the support and gives the typical lansquenets look. These pants can not only be used for lansquenet reconstruction, but are also suitable for nobility, merchants or pirate costumes.

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.
