The account of the Martin Guerre trial mentions white hose lined with white taffeta. The account was published in 1572 (translation here: http://www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/hgarrett/documents/coras.htm).

I'm not aware of any real research into hosen and linings from earlier than the 16th century. I'm not aware of any extant hosen (other than the buskins in Canturbury Cathedral, obviusly, but they're 12th century (offhand)). I don't tend to line the ones I make, because the lining would need to have the same stretch as the outer wool, and I've never found anything that works well without ripping out (naturally, I won't use modern stretch fabrics). The only area I line is the part at the waist where the points sit - that for strength. If looking for a pattern, and info on how to make them, I'd recommend The Tudor Tailor - the ones that Ninya shows are cut the same as earlier conjoined hosen, and she gives detailed direction on the fitting. All this is assuming that you mean joined hose of course.

Was there any - if yes, how did it look, did it cover the whole hose, how often one could see hose with lining and hose without - and also was there lining in hose in earlier periods? I could only find something in Adrien Harmand's book, but my French is not excellent and I'm not sure whether I understand everything... If there was a thread on this topic, please point me to it by telling me the name of the subject:-) Zuzana
