Winter Clothing in 1st century AD legionary re-enactment

[Joze Noriker]

1. The socks could be felted as well or seving tohether with the pants.
2. Heringbone woven-pattern on the leg: seems, the old tradition of the weaving did survive.
3. Are you talking about feminalia, or braccae, or about the (wraping=fascia)pants? It is absolutely different platform of the both items. The skinclose pants+socks (ala Thorsberg style) were never made on the sculpture-figures. (there are only a few evidences)
4. Throusers by the legionary, or throusers by the cavalry?
5. Long tunic/short tunic&cold weather. There are literary evidences about extreme heavy felted, hairy winter tunic in tripple weaving-style in xxl shapes (sculptures), like gallic coat (tunic). For Gallia Cisalpina is evidence of therm: "gausapina clothes" what means: extreme heavy weaving-style, hairy wool, felted wool, animal skins (like the relief from the Cividale/Italy).
