Running Pants

My husband likes to run.  He is also hooked on this medieval game of ours.  His persona, Temyl von Zweibrücken, is from 16th century Germany and is a commedia dell'arte performer. On Thanksgiving Day he plans to combine the two and run a 10K dressed as one of the Commedia stock characters, specifically, Pantalone.  He's already ordered a red fez and a Pantalone mask. Now I get to make red pants for him.

Pantalone is usually portrayed in red tights, and I will eventually make these for him.

But for this occasion, we're going with the pants version.

I'll use the same pattern I used for his plunderhosen, only put less material around each leg.

Here he is from Pennsic 45, playing Pantalone.  He really needs red garb!


I'm off to the cutting table.
