The Yoremade Landsknecht Trousers from Epic Armoury transport you straight into the world of 16th-century Renaissance mercenaries. With their characteristic two-tone look, striking slits and generous cut, they embody the unmistakable style of the historic Landsknechts – fearless, colourful and full of expressiveness. Whether on the battlefield, in a re-enactment or at a medieval fair – these trousers ensure a distinctive appearance.
Historically authentic craftsmanship: the design of these trousers is based on surviving works of art, manuscript illustrations and museum artefacts from the Late Gothic and Renaissance periods (c. 1480–1620). The characteristic ‘puffs’ (puffed-out sections of fabric), the offset fabric panels and the wide leg cut are directly inspired by historical reconstructions and surviving garments from that era. As part of the high-quality Yoremade range, this piece embodies maximum historical accuracy combined with modern comfort.
