These breeches are developed from a pattern in the cutting manual of Diego de Freyle—1588, Spain. They are slightly round in silhouette and are meant to be worn either with, or without tying to a doublet. If they are worn without tying to a doublet, they will sit low on the waist and should be worn only with a jerkin or jacket which has skirting that is long enough to hide the waist of the breeches. When tied to a doublet, the leg opening will sit above the knee. The Ropilla pattern and the 17th shirt pattern downloads, also in the Schoolhouse Store, are the perfect accompaniments for these breeches.
