[Regia-NA] Looking for braie and Hosse pattern for Norman XI century

[Douglas Sunlin]

Bonjour!

The current thinking (at least in this head) is that men's legwear was of 
some variation of the 3-piece set you describe - a pair baggy linen shorts 
or briaes, plus two leggings or chausses or hosen of wool or some other 
stuff. This is based on how legs in manuscript illustrations appear as well 
as the appearance of trousers versus the chausses combo. I am aware that 
trousers can be pulled up to appear as if they are chausses, but surely folk 
in that day didn't spend their mornings trying to look like manuscript 
illustrations! ;)

On manræden,
