Whenever I try to recreate this pattern with fascia curales I get a mess. Of course, I'm usually a teensy bit short of sleep and late for ad signa :lol:
I used to start from the centre at the ankle and criss cross up, but it looked untidy and fell down all the time. I usually use large rectangular wraps now, based on that leg find, but if I need the padding for greaves, I currently start at one end, and wind up overlapping heavily & climbing at a shallow angle, which looks exactly like WWI era puttees.
