Knickers | Art Installation

Installation is in development.

In the Middle Ages, men, tended to wear a loose-fitting pair of pants called braies (later called Knickers. These pants were stepped into and then tied around the waist and legs just under the knee. Although they were initially used as outer garments, by the late Middle Ages, they were used exclusively as underwear. Braies were designed with a flap at the front which could be untied, allowing men to urinate without needing to take the entire garment off.
