Product description
The characteristic flap closure at the front of these trousers is known as a fall front. This type of closure was common in 18th century men's trousers and knee breeches. Particularly in the second half of the 18th century, this construction was popular and was worn by men from various social classes, from sailors and military personnel to civilians. Around the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, the fall front was also applied to longer trousers. Over the course of the 19th century, this closure gradually gave way to the modern fly.
The Franklin trousers are perfect for pirates or sailors. With these trousers, you'll be the center of attention at any LARP gathering or medieval festival! These trousers have a straight fit and end just above the knees. The front flap hides the two buttons that close the trousers, creating a unique look. The flap is removable. The waistband can be adjusted with a cord at the back. The belt loops at the waistband offer the possibility of wearing a belt or a colorful strip of fabric. The trouser legs each have a strip of five buttons that can be opened for added comfort.
