Legs (covering)
Since most people back then all wore knee pants and socks, they tended to try to protect these as best they could. Especially considering the price of socks. Being soldiers to the lowly peasant, some type of protection was used for long treks out of towns and winter season.

Wool leggings
Name: Wool leggings
Type: Legs (covering)
Price: 25$ USD
25$ CAD
Wool leggings
Product details :
Our wool leggings are made of premium quality boiled wool, making them sturdy and able to withstand some of the worst re-enactment conditions. Able to come in different colors and different lengths depending on your likings.
Historical facts:
The leggings are not an European dress, but a native one which was originally out of animal skin (usually buckskin). The natives found it easier to travel in the forests with the leggings, not hurting themselves with whipping reeds and tall grass, soon the Europeans jumped in on the idea and started to use the same kind of dress, but used more extensively wool, which was easy to make, and less work then the process for the animal hides. Soon the natives also jumped in on the wool for the same reasons.
Warm in winter and cool in the summer, wool was the perfect material for the job.
Colors : Brick red, CFM blue, Roger Ranger, Dark olive, Black, Charcoal, CFM light grey

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
