Viking Leg Wraps Janne – Winingas in Wool Diamond Twill
The Viking leg wraps Janne (also known as leg wraps, winingas or wrap gaiters) are a traditional element of early medieval clothing. They were wrapped over trousers from the foot up to below the knee and commonly served as a sock alternative, providing warmth as well as additional protection for the lower leg.
These wraps are made from 100% wool in a high-quality diamond twill weave (brown/brown). The distinctive diamond pattern is created by using lighter and darker brown yarns in warp and weft. This weave structure is slightly elastic across the width, which helps the wraps sit neatly and securely on the leg.
Comparable weave structures are documented in historical textile finds, for example the Thorsberg trousers (3rd century) and the Birka apron dress (grave 973, 9th–10th century).
Each wrap is made from a single piece of fabric and finished along the edges with a simple flat seam (flatlock-style) to prevent bulky seams and pressure points. The wraps are secured with a plain tie band. Supplied as one pair.
Whether for reenactment, LARP or medieval fairs, these wool leg wraps are a practical and visually authentic addition to Viking clothing.
