Armoured Hose (possibly German), early 16th century This pair of Hose is made of linen, which was used as both top fabric and lining. Between both layers, approx. 950 small metal plates were sewn in with linen thread. Around the knee, chainmail was used instead of metal plates - most likely for better movability. The long slits on the inside of the legs could be laced tight for a better fit. As the legs of the Hose are not connected (except for one small area just below the waistband), they were most likely worn on top of another pair of Hose, or at least a pair of short underpants.

Textile armour was quite popular during the 16th century - many people used armoured trousers and doublets as (cheaper?) alternative to conventional plate armour.

This garment is exhibited at the Bayerisches Armeemuseum in Bavaria, Germany.

Someone in the United League of Armourers was sharing pictures from a museum trip. And look at what the museum did for the half armours...
