The Yoremade Landsknecht Trousers are historically inspired knee-length trousers in the characteristic two-tone look of 16th-century mercenaries. Inspired by contemporary paintings, manuscript illustrations and museum artefacts, these trousers embody the bold, extravagant style of the Landsknechts – those famous German mercenaries who left their mark on Europe between the late 15th and early 17th centuries.
The trousers are made from high-quality, brushed woollen fabric (71% woollen, 29% nylon) with a soft cotton lining (100% cotton), making them comfortable against the skin. The characteristic slits reveal the two-tone contrasting stripes and give the trousers their distinctive look. The generously cut leg allows full freedom of movement when fencing, dancing or marching, whilst the close-fitting waistband provides a secure fit.
