Title: Warlord Pike and Shotte?
Post by: Parrot on 03 October 2016, 04:13:11 PM: Does anyone have any good close up pictures of Warlord Games Pike and Shotte infantry? I am having a real hard time figuring out where one piece of clothing ends and another begins, and what is what, especially on the legs. They seem to have pants, shoes, socks, and and something else?

Rolled down or fallen down?

It is featured in many illustrations of the Ecw, and in earlier times, the over stockings where rolled down (take a look at the Perry bros medieval hyw) so I guess that at the very least it is a valid supposition that Ecw overstockings might have been rolled down. I do think that it is overdone in some ranges though- I think nearly every Warlord Ecw figure has their overstockings rolled down, for example.
