Abegg Foundation: "Textile Conservation and Research": 'Andreas Wild von Wynigen - PANTS'
From: Textile Conservation and Research. A Documentation of the Textile Department on the 20th Anniversary of the Abegg Foundation.
Bern, Schriften der Abbeg-stiftung, 1988
As mentioned in my entry on men's knitted hats from this same book, this entry deals with a set of clothing from the Berne Historical Museum. The clothing was originally attributed to Andreas Wild von Wynigen, who fought in at least one battle in 1499 (Dornach). However, the clothing has since been reexamined and it has been determined that this is more likely a reproduction by other members of the von Wyningen family - specifically a grandson who was a tailor and who may have made the set as a 'historical costume' for himself.
There were so many photos to take of the Wams (doublet) and Hosen (pants) that I split it into two entries in an attempt to not overload the usefulness of the photos and to make future use of these sources easier.
This post is image HEAVY...consider yourself forewarned.
This is what the outfit looked like once the folks at the Abegg got done with it:

"428-429 Soles and heels of the hose are reinforced with woollen material. The discolouring over the toes comes form thonged footwear."
