Breeches

Breeches, occasionally known as pants, were a form of outergarment for humanoid races that were typically worn by males. They covered the hips and legs, all the way down to the knees.

Description
Breeches came in a wide variety of styles, colors, and materials. Those sold from Aurora's Emporium were known to have a draw-string waist, allowing the wearer ease in adjusting them, as well as double stitching for extra strength. They were often worn alongside some form of codpiece.

History
Though the exact date of their invention on Toril was unknown, breeches dated back to the days of the Netheril empire.
