I Made Civil War Era Breeches - 17th Century Outfit Part Two!

Breeches? During the civil war? Well yes, in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, better known as the English Civil War, breeches were the standard legwear for men at all levels of society from the king to paupers!
This is the second part of my ongoing series about making 17th century clothing for a new reenactment impression. This time we're making a pair of linen lined wool knee length breeches of the kind that would have been worn all over Europe and the European colonies abroad in the Thirty Years War, or the Colonial Period, or the later part of the Renaissance, around the 1630s and 1640s.
Historical costume can be a challenge, and these "britches" were certainly interesting to make! I hope this is a useful and interesting little video that helps to break down a little of the tailoring, sewing, cutting, pattern making, piecing, and ironing into slightly more manageable chunks. After all, if I can sew a pair of breeches, anyone can!
