A braies pattern recreates medieval undergarments—loose, linen breeches worn by men from the 12th–15th centuries—for reenactors or Renaissance fairs. These pants feature a drawstring waist and roomy legs, often tied below the knee for practicality. Authentic patterns avoid modern closures, focusing on historical accuracy in cutting and seam techniques. Natural fibers like hemp or flax ensure breathability, while hand-stitching enhances period realism. Whether for theatrical costuming or living history, braies offer comfort and authenticity, serving as a foundation layer beneath tunics or armor in recreations of medieval daily life.
