1st Century Roman Breeches — From Archaeological Find: Marx-Etzel, Germany!

  26.90

Roman, Celtic, Gallic, and Germanic Breeches. 1st Century BCE to 9th Century CE.

Worn by the warriors of Gaul and adopted by Roman soldiers on their march toward the primeval forests of Germania. This is a replica of a pair of breeches found in northern Germany, near the coast of the North Sea. Research also connects them to Viking brækr, which may have had similar construction. Possibly also worn by women in Iron Age Germania.

Great for beginner to expert sewing level, as well as beginner hand-sewing. Versatile and comfortable for reenactment fighting and high-intensity activity.
