The Trouser Revolution

Only at the start of the 19th century did fashion-concious men begin wearing trousers in preference to knee-length breeches. Tsar Alexander I of Russia regarded trousers as subversive, probably because they were worn by extremists of the French Revolution. In 1807, Alexander ordered his troops to stop all carriages - and any man inside wearing trousers had them instantly cut off at the knee.
