I just realized that I can't prove that Germanic people wore trousers before the second century CE! Maybe someone with the books by Hald or Schlabow could.
European colleagues have been doing a lot of work with carbon dating and dye analysis of bog finds but I didn't know the shoe had been covered by Volken and Gräfs.
I do have a poor copy of Schlabow...
There are 6 braccae in total, 3 long and 3 short... but no attempt at dates I can see, its rather a catalogue with details.
5 pages give basic details of the finds plus the illustrations... so not very much...
I can't think of anything in Hald?
There is "War and Worship" Susan Möller-Wiering2011 Ancient textile series , Oxbow books.

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
