Pants

Pants, or trousers, were used by peoples of the Northern Europe, Asia, and by nomads, such as Mongols and Kumans. Naturally, they were most comfortable for horse-back riding and in cold weather. The pattern construction for pants is more complicated than that for simple hose, especially if the pants are supposed to be tight. As a result, pants did not become popular in medieval Europe until 16th century.
