Leg wraps part2 a different way...

Those look great!

When I saw your photos, I remembered seeing a photo in the "show us your vintage kilt photos" (on page 28 ... photo of two men at the very bottom post). The man on our left has what seem to be very similar wraps.

They also remind me of these leg wraps or winingas from a more ancient era

This leg-wrap closure hooks may also be useful (although I feel like something tied around the leg would feel more secure )

I think I kind of like the look of leg wraps better than hose ... they look more archaic and not as dressy.

I like the actual tied 'garters' as opposed to the more formal looking flashes but I would like to get hose and flashes some day as well

I think it's interesting to look back in history and see what attire people had with the kilt... you can use these as inspiration.

When I tried mine, I was looking back to more of an Anglo-Saxon / Viking idea and didn't know there were leg wrappings being used with the kilt in the past.

Thanks for the link I do like the winingas. Me thinks Ill have to go down to JoAnn's fabric store down the road and see what kind of fabric I might find in the clearance bins. Never know what they may be letting go of. If it saves my kilt hose for nicer times Im for wrapping my legs all winter long..
