Men's Renaissance Pants, Breeches, and Kilts
During the Renaissance Era, woven hosen continued to be worn by men under their doublets and vests. After 1540, hosen became separated into 2 sections. The upper section were in effect breeches and the lower section hosen. By 1580 Venetian breeches, which were wide around the hips became all the rage. They remained in fashion until the end of the Renaissance Era. Working men also wore Irish Trews and Sailor Pants - which were the forerunners of modern pants.
Also, don't forget Celtic Kilts, which have a history all their own!
