Hi Sonic / Ian,

Barbarian dress became popular with the civilian lower classes. It was so popular that the Western Emperor Honorius felt the need to issue a ban on anyone from wearing trousers in the city of Rome. (Codex Theodosianus 14.10.2-3, tr. C. Pharr, "The Theodosian Code," p. 415)

If I find more examples I'll post them here.
