*Elisenhof, Germany (8thC): One partial leg of a pair of children's trousers with an integral foot were found. The foot part is made from a dark brown 2/2 herringbone twill, length 19.4cm, foot length 16.5 cm, foot width 5.8cm [HUNDT 1981:p.49 Taf.22]
* Hedeby: A, as yet unpublished, theory is that the fragment S3 from the settlement reported by Hagg as a hood with liripipe, may rather be part of a footed hose. This new theory would explain the unusually early appearance of the liripipe and the very shallow body of the hood. In a footed hose seam 4 would be consistent with a hemmed slit at the back of the ankle and the wear observed on the top of the hood, would be the bottom of the foot which is wear you'd expect to see wear.<br>It is certainly worth considering that this may be footed hose rather than a hood, though this had not yet been published as a possible interpretation. [HAGG 1991: p.55-60] <br>
