Set Imperialis
Landsknechts were quite a wild bunch and expressed their boldness through this extravagant style of dress with puffed and slit shirts and pants. However, it is no longer clear exactly how the typical Landsknecht fashion came about, but it is assumed that Landsknechts in the late 15th century slashed their tight clothing because it hindered them in battle. Incidentally, the more colourful and imposing, the better for every Landsknecht!
