Bakery in France has always been crucial.
So crucial that in May 1569, King Charles IX signed an ordinance compelling bakers to be “in a costume such that they are always able to work and never to go out, except on Sundays and holidays, as regulated by the statutes ”.
So, basically, they could wear from Monday to Saturday anything else but shirt, boxer, and cap.
They were forbidden to wear coats, hats, and breeches.
Except on Sundays and holidays, when they could wear such clothes, but only “of gray and white colour, under prison sentence“.
This law was conceived to make the “boulangers” identifiable.
According to the Crown, they couldn’t stroll or hang around as any other free citizens.
They had way much responsibility: making bread for the population.

And no one forbid you to wear trousers using it!
Nor compelling…
