Landsknecht closed trouser leg Peter, black

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 Peter trouser leg is a tighter, more sober model with an elastic hem and hidden closure at the waist. You wear the trouser leg over you belt. It is secured below the knee with a cord. Suitable for both left and right legs..
