Even as a person so very young, you are looked upon as an adult by those around you. You managed to survive the years as a baby, after all, and so now you are expected to carry your weight as a member of the family.

Your father has been teaching you how to work the land, caring for the farm and the labour it requires. Your work is important if your family is going to eat and survive the year. Maybe more importantly, you are also learning how to care for your future family when you one day find a wife.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Proudfoot Pants are classic pants designed specifically for children (or perhaps a healthy sized hobbit). These pants are designed to serve as a base layer for a simple or complex costume, and are made from durable medium cotton. The legs are straight with a buttoned hem at the bottom, showing off those proud feet. A drawstring around the waistline keeps the pants secure and comfortable, along with a six-buttoned frontal flap that comes undone for easy wear.

The look is handsome but moderate, with large pockets perfect for children’s trinkets and bobbles. The Proudfoot Pants are fully compatible with other Epic Armoury children’s clothes and will suit most children regardless of setting.

Available in sizes 6-8 Years and 8-10 Years; and colours Dark Brown and Azure Green.

HISTORY

• Commonly referred to as trousers, pants have been worn in the Western world since ancient times
• The pants’ front opening is considered fall-fronted or broad fall, popular during the early 1800s
• Medieval children often wore the same fashions as adults until the 16th- and 17th-centuries
