Size Chart<\/p>

Note: In general terms we recommend Small for up to a 40\u2033 waist, Medium for up to a 44\u2033 waist and Large\u00a0for up to a 48\u2033 waist. This style is cut slimmer and shorter than our 14th c. braies to be worn under snug\u00a0Joined Hose<\/a>\u00a0without the bunching the earlier style would cause. As such, they do not have attachment points for the separate legs of 14th c. chauses.<\/p>

The voluminous braies<\/a> that had served for centuries as men\u2019s undergarments had begun shrinking, once the cotte<\/a> appeared in the 1340s, but the radical changes in men\u2019s fashions at the opening of the 15th century necessitated pointing the chausses<\/a> directly to the cotehardie<\/a> or doublet<\/a>. Thus, as chausses<\/a> grew first longer, and then joined into a single garment, for the first time the braies were worn within another garment. The new garment was cut shorter and tighter, and would continue to shrink over the 15th century until they resembled a cross between a loincloth and modern briefs.<\/p>

We have replicated a garment from the middle of this transition. Made of a high quality linen that is lighter weight than our 14th c. men\u2019s underwear, these braies are designed to be worn with our joined hose<\/a> without leaving any unflattering bulges or lines. Although closely fit, they allow complete ease of movement, without compromising your comfort. Unlike earlier braies the 15th c. design has a simple fly designed to work with codpiece on our joined hose for easy access in performing \u2018necessities\u2019.<\/p>

This Gentleman is shown in his 15th C. Collared Shirt<\/a> and Braies. Braies of the 15th Century was the start of what we now call Boxers! A typical man of the era would add on Joined Hose<\/a>, and possibly either a Cotehardie<\/a> or Doublet<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

You cannot get any barer than this! Here we see a gentleman down to just his Braies! Among the many layers you would normally add on, he will go on to wear Joined Hose<\/a>, and a Cotehardie<\/a>, which was the style that eventually gave way to the infamous Doublet<\/a>!<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
