Our Thorsberg pants are based on one of the best-preserved trousers ever found from Iron Age Europe. Discovered in the Thorsberg Moor of northern Germany and dating to the Roman Iron Age, the original garment survived for nearly 2,000 years thanks to the preservation of the peat bog.
Made from 100% softened linen, our version faithfully follows the distinctive gusseted construction that gives these trousers their remarkable freedom of movement. We've made only two practical changes for modern wear: removing the attached "footies" and replacing the fitted waistband with an adjustable drawstring for a more comfortable fit.
Cool in summer, comfortable all day, and proven by nearly two millennia of history.
✔ Based on an authentic archaeological find ✔ 100% softened linen in hand-dyed colors ✔ Historic gusseted construction for exceptional mobility ✔ Adjustable drawstring waistband ✔ No belt required ✔ Perfect for SCA, reenactment, camping, festivals, and everyday wear.
Really, we wear these everywhere. Out to yoga? Yup. Out at a campsite, or out on a fighting field? Of course! Both models in the photos are wearing the same "Regular" size pants! A an important part of your wardrobe, and such a reasonable price.
Available in solid colors.
(Runs BIG due to extra fabric in butt:)
unisex size "Regular" ( Fits waist / 25 inches up to 42 inches) BOTH models are wearing the same "Regular" size!
unisex size "Luscious"( Fits waist / 43 inches up to 55 inches for Hips and butts)
Pro tip: MEN if you wear your waistband UNDER your belly, you should roll the waistband. This raises up the crotch so it sits properly between your legs, allowing your full stride and no rips. Hey, we figured you liked to have the full freedom of movement the Thorsberg style pants provides!
