How the tailored trousers were born
The trousers appear in history immediately after the discovery of the skirt. It was most likely born out of necessity, at the beginning the skirt was used indiscriminately by women and men for a question of comfort. The need that led to the creation of the trousers was that of riding. Before the advent of Christ, the Persians gave life to the ancestor of the trousers as we know them. Made of tanned leather , which was made soft through processing. In Europe however, this garment will appear later, with the arrival of the Romans, who had seen them from the Gauls, who used tubes tied to the legs to protect themselves from the cold. The Romans reinvented them, tying mainly woolen threads to the legs.
Initially they were more similar to socks, rather than real trousers.
In the Middle Ages their development began: they became colored, with two legs. At first they started from the foot and reached the groin, remaining divided into two parts. Only later was it thought to join them, inserting a triangle of fabric in the center.
