What are the implications of the word "Michn'sei Bad"?
1.
Zevachim, 18b: It implies that the pants should be 1. made of linen;
12. new,
23. twined;
3
and 4. worn on their own
4
and not together with pants of Chol.
Nidah, 13b: They were similar to the apron worn by horse-riders - they reached from the loins to the thighs
1
and had cords to tie it, and it did not have an opening either at the front or at the back.
2
Oznayim la'Torah: They were short in order not to stumble over them - Ibn Ezra, or because, since their sole purpose was to cover the location of Ervah (for Tzeniyus), snything more than that would be a Chatzitzah between the body and the Kutones.
