Herringbone Viking Leg Wraps (Winingas)

Rooted in history and tradition, Norse Alley's Herringbone Viking Leg Wraps with brass clips bring the timeless practicality and elegance of winingas to life. Traced back to as early as the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, leg wraps were widely used across Germanic regions, by Romans at Hadrian's Wall, Byzantines, Franks, Alamanni, Bavarians, Wends (Slavs), Normans, and Vikings. These versatile garments served as essential legwear throughout medieval Europe, crafted from wool, linen, felt, or leather.

Our Viking leg wraps are made from 100% cotton in a traditional herringbone weave, ensuring comfort, breathability, and durability.

Each wrap is a generous 160 cm long and 6 cm wide, designed to fit comfortably over trousers and provide protection, warmth, and authenticity for reenactors and enthusiasts alike.
