strapping for legs

Hi all,

Does anybody have any pictures (descriptions cool, too) of how they strap their cuisses and knees on? It's just that I am using the upper portion of Sinric's pattern to make a pair of knees into knees/cuisses and I would like to see a good way to keep them up and secure. Thanks!

are you talking about his 15th cent legs?

if so to keep them up, put a leather along the top of the legs and point it to your arming coat.

should explain it better than i can put it into words

have a look in arms and armour of the medieval knight. it shows a man in a gothic suit kneeling down it describes everything you need to know about legs apart from how to put them together. i can't remember who but someone here has it in their picture bit.
