Very comfortable linen trousers that 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). Made of authentic Baltic linen, they are both durable and comfortable. Wear them preferably with leg wraps. 

Product number: 2845

- "A beloved child has many names" is a Swedish proverb that fits quite well to these trousers. Known as "baggy pants", "pösbyxor", "rus trousers" etc, 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."

- Made of 100% Baltic linen in the Baltic region. Linen from around the Baltic Sea grows strong and durable due to the colder climate. It was a highly appreciated fabric by the Vikings.

Large and baggy
Review by Devon H. on 6 Apr 2023 review stating Large and baggy
Very big, very loose and very flowy. Easily adjustable linen drawstring, the breeches will likely fit you in a smaller size than your normal pants. Great linen fabric and weave!

Sturdy and dyes well!
Review by Ethan W. on 11 Jan 2023 review stating Sturdy and dyes well!
These pants are made very sturdily and are extremely soft after proper laundering.

The linen Grimfrost uses also accepts dye extremely well, so the color options are endless.

This is the pair of High Breeches and the Viborg tunic that I dyed as Yule gifts.

Awesome and durable pant
Review by Annop W. on 22 May 2022 review stating Awesome and durable pant
Best. Damn. Breeches. They're equally good pants out there from other sellers but not at this price. I'm 6 feet and 205 pounds and the medium fits perfectly! Everything I've bought has been high quality.
