Can you update the link for the pattern? It's not available

[@lawa3759]

Could you post the sewing pattern again? Website is not available, but I love the trousers

[@emilylindstrom724]

Totally understood how to get the measurements and put it together from your diagram at 4:22, I don't understand why people are complaining. Great video and instructions. Thanks!

[@lisascenic]

I’m utterly baffled by this video. It completely omits how to figure out measurements and to sew the garment together.

[@robertdawson6216]

hello I have tried to access the website but it is saying it is private but the video was informative.

[@medievalashley]

The colors you used are so complimentary. Really like the finished look

[@aprildriesslein5034]

I love them! The color and pattern are both lovely, and you did a great job on assembly.

[@cyndlehick9777]

Thank you so much. Going to make a practical pair of pants for my bf.

[@nicoledeloncrais5940]

Educational, instructive and fabulous 🤩 Thanks for this ❤👌👍

[@davidsarnik5612]

This is a pretty great pattern and general look. I do want to point out that we we have no evidence of pleating in the location or era that these pants likely existed in. The various fragmented evidence that I have found point to gathers being significantly more likely. We have evidence of gathered garments in both the regional and historical context! Keep up the good work!

[@clawwestfall8799]

Thank you for your very helpful video and pattern. :) They came out really great.

[@CIA-M]

very nice tutorials. also great how youre doing a full haithabu kit. love settlement and its finds, my kit is also inspired by haithabu finds. are you planning to make new videos in the future?

[@angelawilmot3588]

Gorgeous darling. Excellent construction. Excellent video editing. So proud!

[@vikinghistory]

Thank you!

[@tatianatarakanova295]

​@@vikinghistoryhello, you made a huge and very good job on this trousers. So far your patterns and explanations are very useful even for beginners. I've seen your site is doesn't work anymore, and your social media doesn't contain patterns, so where now your patterns can be found? Thank you.

[@vratkogaransky8081]

Awesome! Best tutorial out there!

[@johannageisel5390]

Ah, could you please link me to the German pattern for those pants? Since I am German and speak that language, I'm curious how they went about it. Thanks.

[@tanakaryuunosuke2641]

Were the pant legs actually this short? I dont quite see the purpose of the leg wraps if there are no pants to wrap... does anyone have some insight on this?

[@poisonedflowers]

There is probably a multitude of reasons, but just a few that I can think of ... 1. Ease of fabric usage. Back then all cloth would have been loomed at home, and the looms would only be able to be so big. The waist to knee length was probably about the widest you'd typically be able to make. So to not have to patchwork your fabric, just make them that length. 2. Cleanliness. If you've ever been out in the woods, tromping around in all weather, you've had the bottoms of your pants end up filthy. With this style, the pants are above most mud/wet plants/sooty stone from the fireplace. The leg wraps would take most of that damage, and would be much easier to launder/replace as needed. 3. Warmth/comfort. These would typically be woolen, which is amazing for retaining heat(even when wet), be slightly water resistant(due to the natural lanolins), and the trapped air inside would help insulate in cold weather. Most of that would naturally be lost on the lower extremities, where the wrapping again do better for warmth retention(and it's easy to add a layer of fur to the lower leg as added warmth when needed. 4. Style. There is a lot to be said that even back before any form of quick long-distance info distribution, traveling merchants/folks on pilgrimages/raids on different countries would all contribute to new ideas being picked up and passed along. The baggy, cuff-at-the-knee style of pants seemed to have made it's way across a good portion of Europe, showing up in a variety of differing-but-basically-similar patterns. Just with a simple Google search, I found like four pretty distinct versions that all end up looking generically similar to this.

[@Sanderientje1]

Great pattern, how many inches is it from B to E1?

[@munchh2007]

Your link for the free pattern download seems to have been made private, is it anywhere else please?

[@catsmeow5566]

The watercolor sketch you did looks very good. Much better than what I can come up with. Do you have any more info on how you measured out the knife pleats? Also, did you sew the pleats at the knee cuffs as well? I like how the pleats look. I wonder if it would be difficult to do it with side seams on the outer parts so I could add hidden inseam pockets. The pleats look really nice. Ah, so the wraps wrap from top to bottom? I'd have to do them the opposite way because I have circulation issues and if I wrap from top to bottom my feet swell up.

[@NicoNobody]

Hi, it seems your website has been private for weeks now, is that intentional? Cause I would love to check it out..

[@BumbleBauz]

This is super helpful :) thanks!

[@kegarner1012]

links do not work

[@lukaszstanisz1058]

Nice work.

[@dgfloresc]

Super Useful information! thanks!!!

[@koningbolo4700]

these trousers are great for motorcycle riding... To make them more safe wear a Kevlar long john with knee and hip protectors in sewn in pockets... Nice and warm and also good in the rain (as you may know, wool has excellent insulation value even when soaking wet...)

[@Blaze2242]

How do the pants stay up? If they pull on, with no fly, don't they sag? Is the belt used to keep them up?

[@nizarahdragon3973]

Where do you find the book

[@levitumlin7481]

You may hate em but I love em Lol not efficient for work. But roomy and they look cool.

[@LaRutaDeSantiagoMéxico]

Muchas gracias, muy hermoso tutorial

[@kennethstensrud669]

I might be wrong, but these breeches looks more mideavel than viking style. Although some of our national costumes have a modified version of these breeches. I live in an area in Norway that are steeped in viking history, I have to check this out.😊 Btw, you are a handsome booke too 😊.

[@poisonedflowers]

I think its more they were an era thing, that was kinda all over. As he stated in the beginning of the vid, there is a lot of visual evidence of this style of trousers, and I'm sure many different but similar patterns. This just happens to be a pattern found in an area known for vikings, and have kinda become known for that.

[@mrTwisby]

Dude! This is fantastic. Ísleifur just told me you had a KZbin channel but I see I had already subscribed. Cheers from Iceland. - Gummi Valur

[@Haroldspookycat86]

Are these measurements right?

[@LinkSalasNYC]

The pattern Link is dead.

[@NickUncommon]

Will you be planning to cover how to weave the legwraps and maybe, which dyestuffs were used for garments? Another interesting bit would be which colours are used gender specific. I have a vague memory, blue was a colour for women, and men had pinks and reds in medieval Europe.

[@kindred9790]

Gendered colours weren't a thing in Europe until christianity- when women wore blue for the virgin Mary. Prior to that, colours were from common native plants. Blues from woad, for exsmple. But the brighter reds were less common as they required imported madder root. Greys, greens, even lilacs, oranges, browns, yellows... pretty much everything other than black. But nothing gendered- people wore what they felt looked good and what was available.😊

[@Jonsson7]

The link to the patterns do not work.

[@bastienmorier1576]

Hello, thank you for the video. I'm trying to adapt this pattern to my size. I can't figure out what inseam width and inseam distance mean. Can you explain it to me please? Thank you

[@WWIIREBEL]

Except for the type of front/crotch area. Those pants scream of American Zouave ,lol. (former Zouave re-enactor, 5th NY Infantry). The inseam on my own trousers however is much lower, down between the knees.

[@fandangofonteinskalita1333]

Strange that you see these as goofy…modern clothing is awful, I absolutely love these huge pants, they keep me both warm and cool in the winter and they’re very comfortable. Baggy pants are amazing, your take was a bit conservative…

[@jessicabennett9915]

How is this a tutorial? You don't cover what measurements you took, how you figured out what size each piece should be, how to actually construct the pants, or cover anything actually helpful to someone who wants to make a pair of these. I can find tons of tutorials on hand sewing and making knife pleats. What I can't find is what measurements do I need to take and how do I manipulate them to come up with my pattern pieces.

[@johannageisel5390]

Did you see "The Welsh Viking"'s pink version of these pants? Do you guys know each other?

[@MaisAnimado]

Ok, é o mais perto que eu cheguei de "calças femininas para andar de bicicleta".

[@ericdpeerik3928]

Egir! 🤪

[@poisonedflowers]

I honestly don't feel like the added pieces detract, and even give a bit of realism, as odd seams and patch-piecing was a common thing in the days when all textiles was hand-loomed. You used all the cloth you could, and if that meant patchwork sections, so be it.

[@CK-jd1kf]

Nice pants, however, do you have any evidence that they used belt loops and leather belts to keep their pants up? To my knowledge they would have folded over the edge and tied it with a braid, like sweat pants. Belt loops weren't invented until the end of the 19th century.
