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: 3121

"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.

Outstanding garb
Review by Michael M. on 2 Dec 2023 review stating Outstanding garb
Absolutely amazing. They feel incredible when worn and look awesome. Be sure you follow the sizing chart and measure accurately. Shipping is insanely fast.
First order from Grimfrost. Wore these to the Ohio Renfaire's Yuletide Village on a chilly day with a set of legwraps. VERY comfy! Second order is already on its way to me.

Authentic feel, perfect for my daughter's 1st sun lap. would highly recommend these products. Grateful that I made the right choice. Looked on Viking Store also and was surprised to see products made with polyester which you don't want in contact with your skin 24/7. Big love Grimfrost fam.

High quality and well made
Review by Lucas O. on 13 Apr 2023 review stating High quality and well made
High quality as expected from Grimfrost, looks just as good as it feels, the wool breeches combined with the wool tunics make for a pretty warm but breathable outfit.

Only slight issue is the waist sizes are absolutely massive, not to worry though as the drawstring means you can just tighten them up and then it’s no problem, I got a medium but I could of easily gone for a small.

Regardless I still highly recommend!

Philmont, New Mexico Mountain Tested
Review by Kyle H. on 4 Jan 2023 review stating Philmont, New Mexico Mountain Tested
I used these wool pants while in the backcountry of Philmont Scout Ranch and they worked great to help keep me warm and protected while hiking up from 8,000 to 10,000 feet through ankle to knee-deep snow for close to 3 to 4 hours. Plus they kept me warm with temperatures from 9 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit for my entire duration of 2 and a half days.

I strongly recommend these pants for not only the fantastic historical look but also for the functionality of the wool pants in rough and rugged terrain. I am a 5'10" 285-pound man from Texas who wears a 40 to 42 waist. I ordered the XL size and it was a perfect fit. if you are bigger than 42 I would go to XXL.

The only thing I did not like was FedEx losing my package for 6 days and I was almost unable to take these with me on my trip. But given the quality of the product, I would go through the hassle again.

Review by Kris H. on 2 Aug 2022 review stating Happy Customer
They fit rather big. Definitely use the size chart to get an accurate fit around your waist. The fabric is good quality wool and is pretty durable. Just a reminder... I would recommend getting a leather pouch since there are no pockets. Luckily Grimfrost sells all that you'll need!
