Английская Википедия:Boothose
Boothose (boot-hose, boot hose) are over-stockings or boot liners worn in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to protect fine knitted stockings from wear. They first appear around 1450.[1]
Originally a practical item, they were later made of fine linen and sported elaborate lace and embroidered boothose tops.[1][2] By 1583 Philip Stubbs in his Anatomie of Abuses could decry "The vain excesse of botehosen" Шаблон:Quote
In the 17th century, linen boothose could be trimmed with lavish lace tops turned down over cuffed bucket-topped boots.[3] In mid-century, it was briefly stylish to wear boothose with low-cut shoes, before boothose fell completely out of fashion. They lingered, once again a practical object, under the name boot stockings into the 18th century.[1]
