The thing that always got me about the 'slash it to make it larger' story was it
implied the Landsknechts were either
1 - too dumb to trade with someone else for a better fitting garment
or
2 - too lazy to wash it, patch it, & sell it in the next town
or
3 - that they were larger than everyone they vanquished which isn't likely because,
as with any martial art, it's a random combination of skill, luck, and maybe some god
looking or not. ("You - you're dead!" "What? oh ...")
The story just never made sense ....
