Woodland Leg Wraps

“She silently crouched to adjust her leg wraps and assess the distance to the riders. A well-thrown spear would dismount one, while swords and shields could care for the rest. We followed her example. The wind was gentle with a subtle hint of change. Our forged blades thirsted for revenge, but under her brave leadership, I somehow felt as being part of something bigger. As if the gods had commanded me to follow and protect her.”

Epic Armoury’s Woodland Leg Wraps is an iconic accessory providing an extra layer of cloth protection to the lower part of your legs while an iconic style fit for Viking or oriental-inspired characters. They are made from long strips of cotton fabric with binding cords attached for a versatile fit that caters to many different kit styles depending on your choice of colour. The application of leg wraps is especially practical as padding between clothes and armour pieces or when planning to move swiftly through the undergrowth. As a warmer alternative, we recommend our wool-weave Herringbone Leg Wraps.

The sword sits in the baldric hanging down from your shoulder, faithful to its master despite the challenges. It has been a long and dusty road--and your uniform down to your Medieval Pants is covered in dirt and grime--but that sword has remained at your side through it all.

As your infantry unit comes to a halt, there is the tension one always feels before the fight. You resist the anxiety, because the moment you step into battle all of that must fade away. It will be you fighting alongside your fellow soldiers, and it will be the sword hanging in your trusted baldric that keeps you alive.

Pants. They go on your legs.

You tighten your belt another notch over your Basic Pants, frowning at the watered-down soup over the fire. It’s been a long winter, and you and your family aren’t sure you’re going to have enough food. As you consider ways you might be able to afford some meat--maybe you can do some work for a merchant in town?--there’s an anxious knock on the door.

“Raiders!” shouts the messenger on your doorstep. “Raiders are coming! Every able person is being called to fight!”

Suddenly an empty belly is the least of your worries.

You’ve been told that it’s not what’s on the outside that counts, but the inside. A beautiful lady in all her elegant skirts and jewelry is only as lovely as her personality. Despite her beauty, she could truly be a rotten core, putrid and a blemish on society.

You tighten your belt another notch over your hose and Braies, frowning at the watered-down soup over the fire. It’s been a long winter, and you and your family aren’t sure you’re going to have enough food. As you consider ways you might be able to afford some meat--maybe you can do some work for a merchant in town?--there’s an anxious knock on the door.

“Raiders!” shouts the messenger on your doorstep. “Raiders are coming! Every able person is being called to fight!”

Suddenly an empty belly is the least of your worries.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Braies are roomy, lightweight undergarments worn like shorts or with hose. These cotton braies are secured with hidden drawstrings at the waist, adjustable to match your size. The knee-length legs tie around the upper shin with a second set of drawstrings. Offering a surprising amount of support and coverage, these braies really demonstrate how awful crotch support used to be. Period-correct lice can be added for additional authenticity.

Braies have been worn by all strata of society and make a great basis for almost any character costume.

HISTORY

• Historically used as a men’s undergarment beneath chausses or hose tied onto the braies’ drawstring
• An ancient garment of German-Celtic origin that became popular in the Roman Empire and in the successor kingdoms

The Armour Skirt "Tenebra" completes Mytholons Tenebra Armour Jacket set:
The skirt is made in the same style like the vesting. The upper layer consists of suede leather, which was backstitched on a cotton lining.
All that offers a good protection to the wearer. The stripes hang down on the thighs like a skirt does.
The two buckles and the tie-holes, together with the included strings, allow this skirt to be closed in the back of the weares body individually.

Donning your kimono, jin baori and Samurai Pants every morning is as much a ritual as a tea ceremony. Carefully inspected and folded the night before, it is of the utmost importance that a samurai of your stature maintain a pristine uniform. To look sloppy implies that your discipline is lacking--and by that logic, your swordsmanship must be, too.

Instead of risking such dishonor to your reputation, you take the care that is necessary. There will not be a thread out of place.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Samurai Pants are inspired by the classic Japanese hakama. The legs are wide and permanently pleated in the traditional fashion, making them comfortable and non constricting to movement in combat. Made from light canvas and lined with cotton on the inside, these pants also have reinforced hems to ensure a long lifetime of use.

The high waist rests just under the ribs and is secured by three long, heavy cotton canvas cords that can be tied into decorative knots. Samurai Pants are part of Epic Armoury’s Asian range of gear. They are fully compatible with other Epic Armoury clothes and armours, allowing flexibility when designing your own personal look.

HISTORY

• Inspired by the Japanese hakama, which were adopted into Japanese society in the 6th century
• Historically made for armoured samurai to wear
• Traditionally both a male and female garment until the Meiji period
