Theres an example of breeches from Egypt(d'Antinoe) dated I believe to the 6-7 cent they look like a shortened version of Thorsberg trousers......they are close fitting with vertical split held by ties behind the knees, quite baggy rear....not unlike the Thorsberg trousers in construction, probably linen....

"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
