Landsknecht open trouser leg Friedrich, red, per piece

Product description

Landsknechts were the famous German mercenary soldiers of the late 15th and 16th centuries: infantrymen who, following the Swiss example (the Reislaufer), fought with long pikes and arquebuses, initially in the service of the Habsburg emperors. They played a decisive role in battles such as the Battle of Pavia (1525) and the Siege of Vienna (1529), and became infamous for their exuberant clothing style: bright color combinations, ostentatious cuts and enormous puffed sleeves that defied the strict dress codes of their time.

The Friedrich trouser leg has an asymmetrical, pleated model on one side - a refined variation on the classic Landsknecht puffed trouser leg. You wear the trouser leg over you belt. The sides are adjustable with straps and it is secured below the knee with a cord. Suitable for both left and right legs.
