[Ponte Alto] Spats

[corun at medievalist.org]

Meaning no offense to either of you good gentlemen as I know your hearts 
are certainly in the right place, but if the idea is to hide 20th century 
boots, wouldn't a pair of greaves, leather or steel, covering the boot top 
be better and more period looking than either of these 20th century 
solutions? I'd think you could also add some articulated pieces to simulate 
sabotons or solerets. To me neither of the gaiters suggested look in the 
least bit period. It's just covering one modernism with another.
