Detailed explanation-1: -The members of the Jacobin club did not wear the knee-breeches worn by the upper class. This was to signify the end of their rule. They were also known as sans-culottes because they are not ready to wear knee-breeches.
Detailed explanation-2: -The members of this club were known as San Culottes because they wore long striped pants worn by dock workers as the symbol of equality. The word “San Culottes” means those without knee breeches, and members of jacobian club refused to wear the knee breeches worn by the upper class to signify the end of their rule.
