Iron Age wool rectangular leg wraps, made from green wool twill. Entirely hand-hemmed using an overcast stitch.
While there is no evidence of the Romans actually using leg wraps in this fashion, many reenactors favor some form of lower leg covering in cold weather. As such, many have opted to go with the wide, rectangular Sogards Mose-style leg wraps. The originals bore textile ties which were twined, however, due to expediency and materials on-hand, these are braided and then reinforced at the point where they meet the wrap. The ties are made from locally-sourced wool yarn which was dyed green using a combination of woad and weld.
