I agree with the above , and a sleeve for leather seems indeed a more practical way of keeping 'the look' , and making replacements in the field easy.<br>
I also think that ,as with all the other equipment , that the status of the wearer would be a significant influence.<br>
The basic 'poor' soldier would therefore be the person to wear easy to make and replace leather pteruges.<br>

Do you have any guesses on how the ends of the pteruges were decorated (stitching or tassels) , and how to make those authentic for reenactment use ? <p></p><i></i>
