Strapping soupcans

Post by bkillian »

So I have been using a single strap and buckle arrangement on my knees. In a lot of pics I see Dagging or some other bit of froofery. If those of you rocking the soupies would be kind enough to post some pics from the inside I would be grateful. Dags on knees r teh sexy :lol:

Where do you want the holes in your knees?

You can use a whitney on spring once it's hardened but it's _much_ easier to pre punch the holes.

I have em marked to put a point at the top and a strap around the back

Make a pair of gamboised cuisses. Dag the lower edge. Or find some lovely lady to make them for you. Whatever works.

Point the knees to them, above the dags. Add a stap to keep them close to the knee. The cuisse holds 'em up, strap holds 'em on the knee and the dags bring all the ladies running.

And don't forget the greaves!
