Roman leather look leg covering

The Roman leather-look leg cover is a brown leather-look shin guard with black straps, gold-coloured studs and a round ring on the front.

These shin guards evoke the image of a Roman legionary or a Greek warrior ready for the arena. Wear the leg cover at Carnival or at a Roman-themed party; it is designed for both women and men.

Leather-look, studs and ring on the shin

• The brown leather-look has a mottled, weathered design, giving the leg cover a worn appearance.
• Black straps run across the front, featuring gold-coloured studs and a round ring in the centre.
• At the bottom, the black strap ends in a narrow, slit flap above the ankle.
• The leg cover is suitable for both women and men.
• The material is 100% polyester.
• Do not wash, bleach, tumble dry, iron or dry clean.

The leg cover of an ancient warrior

Shin guards are part of the well-known image of warriors from ancient Greece and Rome. They protected the lower leg, the part that often remained exposed behind a shield in battle. Gladiators in the arena also wore such protection on their legs. This means that a leg cover instantly makes a toga or soldier costume recognisable as a warrior look rather than civilian clothing.

What to wear above these shin guards for a complete Roman warrior look?

Above the leg cover, a red tunic that reaches just above the knee is ideal, so that the brown shin guards remain clearly visible. Leather-look chest armour and a skirt made of leather strips with studs complement the same weathered shade. Complete the look with arm guards, a helmet with a red plume or a closed Greek helmet, and Roman sandals with straps around the ankle. These costume pieces are sold separately and are not included with the leg cover.
