This pair of brown leather breeches, dating back to before 1632, is an example of 17th-century men's fashion, and is a rare and exquisite piece of historical clothing. The breeches are decorated with rows of decorative stitching on the sides, highlighting the tailored craftsmanship of the time. The front of the garment features a series of buttons and a tie, signifying the style of men's clothing during this period. These breeches were once worn by Ernst Casimir I, a historical figure, and now reside in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the fashion of the past.
Comments
Once owned by the Frisian stadholder Ernst Casimir, these breeches are full, in keeping with early 17thcentury fashion. The braids at the side seams – coils of silver thread – were popular and recall the then popular ‘Poolse’ (Polish) jackets. The iron hooks on the waistband attached the breeches to a doublet. The fly closed with buttons and buttonholes – this seems normal now, but at the time it was a rarity.
