My trick for tight fitting hosen (just finished a pair of wool split hose) is put them on inside out, have someone pin them tighter near the old seam, then re-sew the new seam, trim off the excess and now you have custom fit hose. If they're linen don't make them too tight at the ankle, if they're wool they'll stretch, but test fit before cutting.

Heh, that's actually exactly what I did. Glad to know I was on the right track. :)

Something else to add to the list.

Is there a complete list of everything one should have for this event somewhere? Like down to the minutiae?

No.
Days of Knights is made up of many individual groups with varying degrees of living history experience and levels of authenticity, time period of focus, and medieval camping experience so each has its own requirements. Some people don't camp at all, so there's really no one size fits all list of stuff to bring, especially down to the minutiae level.
A lot of groups pool resources as well but organizing this group can be like herding cats sometimes :) We're also unique in that as a group the Order of the Marshal has no one specific period of focus so it's harder to pool resources since we'll likely be camping in separate areas since the event is arranged in timeline order. I'm personally going as a member of two separate organizations, my living history club, and the Order, so it makes it even more complex.
But if say you're interested in attending as a solo soft kit only impression staying at a hotel, the required stuff to bring would vary wildly from a person doing an armored impression who plans to camp.
So the best answer is it depends entirely on what level an individual plans to participate at.
Are you attending? And if so how do you plan to participate? With that information I could guide you a lot better on what to bring.

Sir Ian covered it very well, I have a thread from a couple years ago where I was packing for DoK 2012. It's not a required checklist by any means, but I thought a list of what I took might be helpful as a list of things you might use:
