A Historical Emporium Exclusive!

Short trousers, similar to our Brown Herringbone Tweed Knickers, were all the rage in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The perfect way for a town and country chap to suit up comfortably for sporting endeavors such as golf, shooting and croquet. On the complete flip side of the social stratum, you might find a young newsboy or bike messenger tending to business in a pair pulled down over knee socks.

It doesn't matter if you call them knickers, knickerbockers, or knee-breeches, these shortened trousers always billowed a bit around the knee. This pleated and button-fly pair is kept secure with a 1½" band of elastic at each cuff. Two pockets at the front sides and 2 more button-back pockets on the rear offer plenty of room for a gentleman's carry-abouts. Also, both belt loops and interior suspender buttons are provided.

Shown here with our calf-length socks. Made from 25% wool, 40% acrylic, and 35% polyester. Satin lined to the knee for comfort. Imported. Dry clean only. Available in men's sizes 30-52.

Pair with our Norfolk Jacket for a period hunting look.

Part of our Brown Tweed Collection.

Don't forget suspenders! (sold separately).

Quality and timeliness
Purchased for a 1920s themed birthday party murder mystery, matched with braces, argyle sweater and socks with a flat cap, it looked great. These were long enough to still bag a little under my 6'4" son's knees for the proper fit effect.

I feel the need, the need for Tweed!
I bought these to wear while riding my bicycle in cold weather. While they are perfect for an organized Tweed Ride event, I just prefer to be a comfortable non-racer bicyclist.

Hobbit Wedding!
Purchased these knickers for a hobbit themed wedding in Duluth and people loved it! The pants were incredibly comfortable and breathable on a hot day considering they were wool, to my knowledge. I'll certainly be purchasing again when we build up a collection for Renaissance fests and oktoberfest!

Well made and designed. I may loosen the elastic at the knees as my gams are a bit bigger than the original fit model.

Nice knickers
I was waiting for my size to come back in stock, and immediately ordered these. Very nice. Made of good tweed. I have bought many items from your store and will continue to in the future.

Great service, perfect fit
Ordered these for my son who was participating in the musical The Newsies, they arrived sooner than expected, were exactly what we were looking for. These were perfect for The Newsies. Thank you for the fast service, and the great product.

Worth the money
Having bought knickers in the past, the inexpensive models aren’t worth much and they use elastic at the legs and waist to fit everyone. These are just my size. Thanks.

runs small
Looking at the other reviews, I ordered 2 sizes large and they were still small. Also, the elastic cuffs are pretty tight and make extended wear a little rough.
