These trousers are based on the famous archaeological find discovered in the Thorsberg Moor, Germany. Their distinctive cut faithfully reproduces the construction of the original garment and makes them an excellent choice for historical reenactment and living history events.

They feature six belt loops and are supplied with a wool belt, allowing easy adjustment to your preferred fit.

You can of course remove the wool belt and wear the trousers with your leather belt or a linen cord.

Constructed from several carefully assembled panels, the trousers reproduce the characteristic pattern of the archaeological original.

The hems are entirely hand-sewn (in a neat sewing work) with natural linen thread, adding an authentic finishing touch.

Suitable for Viking Age and early medieval reenactment (up to the 11th century).

The trousers are sold separately, without accessories.

I propose you a choice of 2 versions:

A version without integrated feet.

A version with integrated feet:

Idendical to the Thorsberg trousers found in a peatland, on an archaeological site near Süderbrarup in Germany, on old Danish territory.

You have integrated feet, ankle slits and sets of 3 pairs of laces to close the calves.

A pair of these trousers is displayed at the Archaeological Museum of Gottorf Castle, Germany.

- Remember to preserve your garment from moths, as they love wool!

- Your garment has benefited from an anti-moth treatment, but over time, think that its effectiveness will fade.

- Do not store your garment roll into a ball in your bag, fold it.

- Hand wash with cold water only, with a mild liquid soap, such as Woolite or Mir wool.

- Dry flat on a bath towel, away from a heat source.

The best way to find your hip measurement:

Take a belt, adjust it to your hip circumference (don't confuse this with your waist circumference, which is smaller), and then measure the circumference.

For a comfortable fit, you must to add 9 cm.

Example:

My belt gives me 94cm.

94cm (the minimum possible) + about 9cm (to be comfortable) = I choose trousers with a hip circumference of about 104 cm.

This way, you are sure to be able to put the pants on.

For the thigh circumference :

Please measure your thigh circumference at the largest point, to check if the leg donning is possible.

Add 4cm to 6cm to your thigh circumference.
 

Example:

My thigh measurement is 55cm.

55cm + 5cm = 60cm

I chose pants with a thigh circumference of about 60cm.

Also check your calf circumference.
