Our Henry VIII leggings are based on the field armor of the notorious king of England, a piece currently on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. This intricately designed suit was crafted for the king late in his life (what I like to call his “fat Elvis” period), which he wore into battle during his last military campaign despite his infirmities at the time. But you can get all of the artistry without any of the gout in our take on this beautiful armor. 😉

Our model is 5'1 and wearing a size S in the high-waisted, regular inseam.

Wish I could wear these every day!

But I only have one pair...so I can't. But I love them.

Amazing!!

These leggings feel amazing, they fit beautifully, and look fantastic!! I absolutely love them, and would buy another pair in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!! 5'2" and I got the regular inseam and high rise waist.

So worth it (would be six stars with pockets!)

I preordered these leggings back in… 2018? Maybe 2019? I’m And recently wore them as part of a Halloween costume (2023). They still fit, the seams and fabric have held up beautifully (I’m careful about washing cold and hang drying, and don’t wear them a ton, but 4-5 years is still long enough for cheaper materials to stiffen or lose elasticity)

Get loads of compliments, look good and feel comfy! The only downside: I just wish they had pockets— if another version is released with pockets I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

I’m 5’9” and x-shaped but very dense lol… the L with long inseam has fit me (with some slight bunching at the ankle, which I prefer) from 175-220lbs and back… though I’d probably recommend sizing up above 190lbs due to the seam at the groin :)

Great Fit, Long Inseam Suitable Up to 6'0"

I own an older pair of the Scudamore leggings, and got these excited to try out the new revamped leggings. Lorica has shortened the inseam of their Long length in the new version. I'm 5'9"-5'10" and ordered a Medium, and the long inseam now hits out exactly to my ankle bone -- but anyone over 6'0" might find the new inseam doesn't provide them with a full length pant unless they're able to size up. (Lorica says the inseam increases by 1/2" for each size you go up, which may be helpful for tall folks who don't need the smaller waistband of the lower sizes).

The revamped pattern on these is very beautiful, and the printing of the pattern is crisp and clean. I love the new fabric - it's definitely comfier than the previous fabric Lorica was using.

My measurements are:
Waist: 27"
Hip: 39"

I ordered the Medium, High-Waisted cut, Long inseam. The fit is perfect through the hip and the leg. The previous Lorica fabric blend in the same size was a bit tighter, and the new fabric is more comfortable for everyday wear. For me, the fit at the waist is slightly looser than needed -- I could comfortably fit my fingers under the fabric without it needing to stretch at all. This was entirely expected based on the sizing chart -- my measurements were between sizes and I prefer sizing up. The waist doesn't gap away from my body or need to be taken in, it's just that it was designed for a waist measurement a few inches up (again, 100% in line with what the sizing chart recommends).

In Love!

I received my leggings in the mail today and I don't even have words to describe how awesome they are! The fit is fantastic, the knee of the image falls in exactly where my knee is, the waistband is not too tight and not to loose, they are just so comfortable! Dare I say it, they are even flattering, which is always a concern.
