| Historical Note - Knee
Breeches: Worn by the military as well as
the middle and upper classes. Breeches were traditionally made of wool or
linen and either lined or unlined. The finest breeches were made from a
very thin deer hide and fully lined. Breeches were normally cut to ride
low on the hip. Favorite fabric colors included brown, blue, red, rust,
gold, as well as shades of green and blue along with the traditional
military white. The legs were tapered and extended 1 to 2 inches below the
knee.
Braces: (suspenders) did not come into use until shortly before the 19th Century. Up until then men held their pants up by sheer will power and prayer. |
 Button Fly Knee Breeches: Prior to 1770 These type of breeches were most common up through the early 1770's. |
