ave fellow members.
i'm making a facsimile of the breeches wore by the legionnaires in the gaul- brittany campaigns.
i see from the pictures the leg length is just below the knee.
okay but when you set down this length will allow the leg to pull up over the knee requiring the leg to be pushed down over the knee, yet if you make the leg length long enough to prevent this then the length is mid calf ???? also most appear almost skin tight through out the leg areas.
i would think linen, wool or leather could be used for the material?
can someone point me in the right direction before i have to rip this out and start over.
thanks. hoke hinson,aka lucius paternius secundus
