Roman wool rectangular leg wraps, made from red wool in a fulled 2/1 twill weave. 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. Since the client specifically requested leather ties, rather than the braided textile like the originals bore, we opted to go for a "Romanized" route, with the leather ties knotted in the back and passed through a series of square leather grommets, similar to what is found on other Roman items bearing ties of the same manner. While it should be noted there are no finds of this present to date, and this is purely speculative, the features used did try and remain as faithful to their respective finds as possible and it should be kept in mind that this is not intended to stand in place as an "as it was" type of item.
