Roman wool Braccae trousers, made from dark grey wool in a herringbone weave. Entirely hand-sewn using locally-sourced wool thread in a double running-stitch and the seams are flat-felled in the Roman fashion and secured with an overcast stitch.
The construction of these trousers bears the upper half construction of the Germanic Marx-Etzel trousers, but they have been lengthened to calf-length for use in a Roman context. This style is likely a more accurate rendition of Braccae construction than those with more "modern" constructions using belt loops or drawstrings at the waist.
