crispvs,
thanks for your reply and the information.
your right i was basing the braccae on pictures and actual people wearing these short tight breeches, just below the knee.
i thought this was an acceptable garment based on historical fact.
honestly i kinda liked them.
i have seen legionarys wearing leggins though i thought them odd ,
anachronism that looked more in tune to the american frontier colonial times, not ancient rome.
i suppose lite woolen material best for the wraps?
i'm off to the libirary tomorrow for sure. thanks,
hoke,
