Making a General Greek greaves

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Gagan, i think the main problem is what you can see for yourself, the greaves are waaay too big. At least if i judge from the plastic legs that wear them. I think that part of the problem is that they are too long. This style of greaves was not meant to cover any part of the thigh, but berely cover the knee. Also they are meant to stick on the legs or they will obviously fall down otherwise, so you need to make them very tight on the leg. As I mentioned begore, they need to be very tight on the thin legs, because they can easily open for the thicker legs, but they can hardly close more for the thin ones. Their total length should not be more than around 45 cm, which is good for an average hight European.
