Reconstructed Persian weapons

[SassanianPersian]

Stephen, I just got back from a trip and I had to log on to write you this. I not only stand corrected, but more importantly absolutely have the in hand item to prove you are right my friend. Wow. First let me say this, I had always viewed those rims as the cuffs of the pants, not the rim of the shoes, that is why I have never interpreted those as being tucked in the shoes. Anyway, more importantly my friend I stand corrected on an absolutely unbelievable find. I was looking into the Sassanian pants as well, and they seem to follow the same style. So I was having a discussion with my mother about this who spent a lot of time with Kurds and other Traditional ethnic Persians. So the next time I saw her, she walked up to me, with my GRANDMOTHERS pair of pants, sassanid pleated pants with the attached hose. Yes, fully pleated pants that were hoes, they are in black. They are unreal and gorgeous beyond words. I will try and take a photo to post for you guys. It is not only that they are hoes, but the pleats are in them as well. The pleats are different from the Achaemenids, but nonetheless, they are hoes and she was telling me that not only were they absolutely authentic and common but they are very very traditional in ancient Persian wear. Random discussion that was brought up based on the facts that you presented and then fully supported by my mother shoeing me these pants. I was blown away. I will try and get a picture up right away.
