Very comfortable and durable trousers made in dense, durable wool. These trousers were common among the Norse before and throughout the Viking Age. This is evident on picture stones, contemporary art and archaeological finds (such as in Hedeby and Birka). Wear them preferably with leg wraps. 

Product number: 3120

"A beloved child has many names" is a Swedish proverb that fits quite well to these trousers. Known as "baggy pants", "pösbyxor" - or even as "rus trousers", even though they existed in Scandinavia long before the Rus. We simply refer to them as "high breeches" (Old Norse: hábrók) which is the name used for them in the Icelandic saga Hauk Hábrók's Tale."

MOTHER EARTH

The trousers are made from recycled wool that is a great ECO-friendly option! Aided by modern-day quality controls and meticulous sorting before shredding and weaving, it saves on the energy and water needed to produce non-recycled wool. The process also eliminates the use of chemicals.

Wool High breeches
Review by James S. on 22 Nov 2023 review stating Wool High breeches
My order was complete, sizes are accurate and are amazingly comfortable and warm to wear. The fit is pleasant and unencumbered and looks appropriate for the period. I will be wearing this wool in any weather for festivities, Renaissance faires and medieval gatherings as these garments are extremely comfortable and wearable right out of the package. They will go very nicely with the leathers and cloak I will be crafting to pair with this outfit. Thank you very much for providing these wonderful services and products.

Wooly Breeches That Keep You Toasty
Review by Jon R. on 17 Jan 2022 review stating Wooly Breeches That Keep You Toasty
I thought the wool breeches were a bit too big at first, but after I cinched them tight, and threw the belt on, it was perfect. You can tell the wool is good quality; keeps you warm and looks good while doing it. The material is thick. Tested it in some very cold and windy weather and it worked perfectly at keeping my toasty. No wonder our ancestors didn't mind the cold north so much. They had these on.

Not having knowledge of history and past culture makes a person a tree without roots. The good news are that roots can be grown. #viking #vikingaxe #shield #warrior #vikingbeard #vikinglife #grimfrost
