Guessing it's actually chainmail pants covered by skin colored stockings...for some reason? There are some folds around the knees that seem to indicate there's fabric.

They didn't tend to wear hose over things like armor, if it's hose it's actually likely closer the bottom of a chainmail shirt or hauberk. This is strengthened by the background dude having a something like a codpiece and the foreground facing dude having a length of fabric draping down where they tie the hose to. They didn't wear pants that actually came together. Would also explain why the poor bastards have arrows sticking out of their largely unarmored legs.

Edit: similar hauberk/hose, though likely based on this very source hilariously enough due to the same pose, crossbow, and similar uniform markings blended together, just as a 19th century art print

So you're saying plenty of these guys took an arrow to the knee?

Maybe it was an ad for leg armour.

Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all.

But can I get it in a feminine dwarf cut? Or is that too progressive?
