Persian ones. Very interesting because almost identical are in my museum and you can find it in catalogue
Arcydziela Sztuki Perskiej / Masterpieces of Persian Art. Dating of such trousers is usually limited to 17th and 18th century. In H. R. Robinson's
Oriental Armour you can find very fine exemple on Plate III A.

If you're planning visit to far away Poland, Poznan is indeed very beautiful city you should see. But first of all visit my Krakow (Cracow, Cracovia)
(sorry Damian for making such diversion in your thread
)
In Krakow you can find one of the biggest arms exhibition with beautiful weapons from Medieval to II WW with quite huge 16th-18th c. department and many edged weapons in there (National Museum). You shouldn't miss Armoury in Czartoryski Museum and Wawel Royal Castle collection too.
Other cities to see are Warszawa (Warsaw), Wroclaw and Gdansk (Danzig). In Warsaw you'll find the biggest army museum in Poland. Other cities are a must for sightseeng
