Totally understood how to get the measurements and put it together from your diagram at 4:22, I don't understand why people are complaining. Great video and instructions. Thanks!
This is a pretty great pattern and general look. I do want to point out that we we have no evidence of pleating in the location or era that these pants likely existed in. The various fragmented evidence that I have found point to gathers being significantly more likely. We have evidence of gathered garments in both the regional and historical context! Keep up the good work!
these trousers are great for motorcycle riding... To make them more safe wear a Kevlar long john with knee and hip protectors in sewn in pockets... Nice and warm and also good in the rain (as you may know, wool has excellent insulation value even when soaking wet...)
very nice tutorials. also great how youre doing a full haithabu kit. love settlement and its finds, my kit is also inspired by haithabu finds. are you planning to make new videos in the future?
I might be wrong, but these breeches looks more mideavel than viking style. Although some of our national costumes have a modified version of these breeches. I live in an area in Norway that are steeped in viking history, I have to check this out.😊 Btw, you are a handsome booke too 😊.
@@vikinghistoryhello, you made a huge and very good job on this trousers. So far your patterns and explanations are very useful even for beginners. I've seen your site is doesn't work anymore, and your social media doesn't contain patterns, so where now your patterns can be found? Thank you.
Where the pant legs actually this short? I dont quite see the purpose of the leg wraps if there are no pants to wrap... does anyone have some insight on this?
Ah, could you please link me to the German pattern for those pants? Since I am German and speak that language, I'm curious how they went about it. Thanks.
The watercolor sketch you did looks very good. Much better than what I can come up with. Do you have any more info on how you measured out the knife pleats? Also, did you sew the pleats at the knee cuffs as well? I like how the pleats look. I wonder if it would be difficult to do it with side seams on the outer parts so I could add hidden inseam pockets. The pleats look really nice. Ah, so the wraps wrap from top to bottom? I'd have to do them the opposite way because I have circulation issues and if I wrap from top to bottom my feet swell up.
Will you be planning to cover how to weave the legwraps and maybe, which dyestuffs were used for garments? Another interesting bit would be which colours are used gender specific. I have a vague memory, blue was a colour for women, and men had pinks and reds in medieval Europe.
Gendered colours weren't a thing in Europe until christianity- when women wore blue for the virgin Mary. Prior to that, colours were from common native plants. Blues from woad, for exsmple. But the brighter reds were less common as they required imported madder root. Greys, greens, even lilacs, oranges, browns, yellows... pretty much everything other than black. But nothing gendered- people wore what they felt looked good and what was available.😊
How is this a tutorial? You don't cover what measurements you took, how you figured out what size each piece should be, how to actually construct the pants, or cover anything actually helpful to someone who wants to make a pair of these. I can find tons of tutorials on hand sewing and making knife pleats. What I can't find is what measurements do I need to take and how do I manipulate them to come up with my pattern pieces.
Except for the type of front/crotch area. Those pants scream of American Zouave ,lol. (former Zouave re-enactor, 5th NY Infantry). The inseam on my own trousers however is much lower, down between the knees.
Strange that you see these as goofy…modern clothing is awful, I absolutely love these huge pants, they keep me both warm and cool in the winter and they’re very comfortable. Baggy pants are amazing, your take was a bit conservative…
Hello, thank you for the video. I'm trying to adapt this pattern to my size. I can't figure out what inseam width and inseam distance mean. Can you explain it to me please? Thank you
Nice pants, however, do you have any evidence that they used belt loops and leather belts to keep their pants up? To my knowledge they would have folded over the edge and tied it with a braid, like sweat pants. Belt loops weren't invented until the end of the 19th century.
