Size 5 has a height of 16 inches and a top diameter of 18 inches. Full measurements for all five sizes are provided in the extended description.
Are there any issues with the included lacing or straps?
The provided tie ropes are short, making it difficult to lace fully up the leg. The straps that go under the instep are also short. It may be necessary to replace the ropes with longer ones or attach an extension to the leather strap.
What are the details of the hardware used?
The leggings feature brass tips on the laces and split rivets. The brass hooks can be pulled out if the lacing gets caught. The quality of the rivets is not always preferred.
How do you properly lace these leggings?
The Spanish American War leggings do not lace up in the same way as WW1 or WW2 leggings. It is best to refer to the product pictures for guidance. Online resources, such as YouTube tutorials, can also be helpful.
