Thorsberg Trousers Reconstruction with Embroidery, Linen Thorsberg Pants, Reenactment Trousers, Migration Period, Early Medieval Costume.

I would like to present the trousers reconstruction based on thorsberg bog finds. The archeological finds from this site that are dated between 2nd and 5th century and the trousers are most likely do be dated for 4th century, which make them ideal for reenactors of barbarian europe. They are one of the best preserved men's clothing artifact. Some of the viking era sources can indicate that in later centuries a similar construction of the men's garment could be used (for example: one of strongly damaged pair from hedeby from 10th century, oseberg tapestry pictures). For reason mentioned above reconstruction based on this bog find is very often chosen by migration period, viking era and early medieval reenactors. The main part of trousers consist of 5 pieces: two for covering legs, one long part for crotch area and two small parts in the back part (this two parts can be made from one piece of material). The belt is created separately and then sewn to the main part.

Trousers presented here are made of blue medium weight linen and decorated with embroidery based on a jelling style motif. For trousers that are to be made to order we will send a personal measurement pattern. The braid shown on the pictures is not included in price but also available on our other listings. We are waiting to answer any of your questions.

Please note: all our products on etsy are 100% handsewn reconstructions -we never use sewing machine for our replicas. If you decide to choose any of our products you can be sure it will always be a high quality handcrafted item, created with a highest respect for tradition. This item is made of wool and linen.
