Trousers trace their ancestry to the individual hose worn by men in the 15th century (which explains why the word "trousers" is plural). The hose were easy to make and fastened to a doublet at the top with ties called "points". At this time, these were not trousers, but trews, such as can be seen in the 1746 painting by David Morier. spyder jacket As time went by, the two hose were joined, first in the back then across the front, but still leaving a large opening for sanitary functions. Originally, doublets came almost to the knees, effectively covering the private parts, but as fashions changed and doublets became shorter, it became necessary for men to cover their genitals with a codpiece.
By the end of the 16th century, the codpiece had been incorporated into the hose, polo shirts for women now usually called "breeches", which were roughly knee-length and featured a fly or fall front opening.
During the French Revolution, the male citizens of France adopted a working-class costume including ankle-length trousers or pantaloons (in place of the aristocratic knee-breeches). This style was introduced to England in the early 19th century, possibly[original research?] by Beau Brummell, and supplanted breeches as fashionable street wear by mid-century. north face jackets for women Breeches survived into the 1940s as the plus-fours or knickers worn for active sports and by young school-boys. Types of breeches are still worn today by baseball and American football players.
Sailors may have played a role in the dissemination of trousers as a fashion around the world. In the 17th and 18th centuries, sailors wore baggy trousers known as galligaskins. Sailors also pioneered the wearing of jeans—trousers made of denim. polo pants for men became more popular in the late 19th century in the American West because of their ruggedness and durability.
From the late 19th Century until the 1940s, men's flannel trousers (known as "slacks") had no waist sizes; there was one universal fit for all men (leg lengths were issued, but alterations were a result of turn-ups). These were held up on a very high waist above the stomach, partly by belts but mainly by braces; as a result, the trousers were very baggy
