Medieval Braies, natural-coloured
Braies were a type of trousers worn by Celtic and Germanic tribes in antiquity and by Europeans subsequently into the Middle Ages. In the later middle ages they were used exclusively as undergarments. Braies generally hung to the knees or mid-calf, resembling what is today called shorts. They were made of leather, wool, or, in later years, cotton or linen. They were adopted by the Romans as “Braccae”.
These Braies are made from natural cotton. The waistband is cut very wide, which gives the legs their typical volume. The waistband can be adjusted with a drawstring. The inner leg seams are slit high, so that the hemline can be folded over and put in the waistband. In summer you can simply shorten the leg length.

How to find the right size:
To take your body measurements correctly in order to determine your clothing size, please always wrap the measuring tape horizontally around your body at the fullest part. For trousers, sizes are based on your hip circumference.
If you happen to fall between two sizes, we recommend that you go up a size.
Ease is included in the pattern and reflected in the finished measurements.
