Product description
These medieval chausses are crafted from wool and come as a pair, excluding aiglets. Particularly well-suited to 14th–15th century reenactment.
The existence of such garments dates back to the Neolithic period, but such legwear became popular during the High Middle Ages. Two separate chausses were worn beneath the tunic, one per leg, and were fastened with laces to the braies (underwear) or a belt. Medieval stained glass, paintings, and manuscripts show that braies were often worn in various colours, from modest to bright. Originals may be seen in the Morgan Picture Bible and the Tres Riches Heures de Duc de Berry. Chausses, or leg coverings, were worn by all classes of society.
These chausses consist of two separate legs. They are not footed and come to a point on the upper outside of the leg. This point has two eyelets for tying the hose to your braes/arming belt/doublet, etc. The point is reinforced with herringbone tape sewn on the inside. The eyelets are handstitched, whilst all other stitching, including the top stitching, is carried out by machine.
