Custom 18th Century Men’s Trousers – red/brown wool stripe
These 18th century men's wool trousers are designed for Colonial, Revolutionary War, and 18th-century living history impressions. Made from a distinctive red and brown striped wool cloth, these historical trousers combine period-inspired construction with the durability needed for reenactments, living history events, and everyday wear.
The Excelsior trousers feature a traditional fall-front closure, full-seat 18th-century cut, adjustable rear waist eyelets, authentic pewter buttons, and handsewn buttonholes and finishing. They are designed for reenactors who want historically appropriate men's clothing that looks and wears like a proper 18th-century garment.
This offering is for a special pairing of some custom cloth we have and our 18th century trouser reproductions. The result is a great period pair of wool trousers that would be great for your 18th century impression! CURRENTLY WE ARE LIMITING THIS "RUN" TO 3 PAIR PER SIZE. These trousers will require a wait of approximately 4-6 weeks.

Built to Be Worn, Not Just Displayed
We make our items to be worn and used. You’re investing in a garment crafted the way they were in the mid-to-late 18th century.
Part of our respected Excelsior line, these trousers reflect the higher standard serious reenactors expect: correct construction, thoughtful tailoring, and materials that hold up to real use.
To properly size, choose your "natural" waist at the navel or belly button...not your modern jeans size. PLEASE PUT INSEAM MEASUREMENT IN CUSTOMER COMMENTS DURING THE CHECKOUT PROCESS.
