Based on late 15th and early 16th century Turkish mamluk armor, our Istanbul Leggings emulate the maille and plate (alternatively "plated mail" or "splinted mail") style that was primarily in use at the time in Middle Eastern heavy cavalry units. It is composed of steel plates woven together with rings to form a unified piece, then fastened with belts or laces.

Our model is 5'4 and wearing a size S in high-waisted, regular inseam.

Good but Seam Texture challenging

These leggings are so pretty. I want very much to wear them all the time. But there’s something about the seams on the inside of the leggings. They are so noticeable. Still giving 4 stars because they’re lovely and I have texture issues so this is at least in part me. But I haven’t had this issue with any other brand of leggings.

For Fighting and Fashion

I run a HEMA school and I purchased these leggings to wear under my protectors to have that extra bit of flash while I fight or instruct. I ended up wearing these with or without my HEMA gear on and love the way it feels and looks. The detail of the armor is striking and I've already gotten a lot of compliments. The material is not see through so it is safe to wear as a standalone garment and there is enough room for my cup when I spar. I may go for the Iron Fit for my next pair but my range of motion is high in these. Don't hesitate if you are on the fence. They are worth it.

Perfect fit by measurements, firmly hugging high waist. Material feels soft, but has firm stretch, print is well done, stitching is strong. Great quality and feel pretty bada$$ in them.

Excellent quality, beautiful print. Love them!

Amazing! Thin ankles

These leggings are exactly the measurements ordered and might even be a bit long, which I deeply appreciate.
I'm 6'1", 175lbs and the Large is a great fit around the waist, inseam, and around my legs. This will be perfect for my use case as the base layer for a cosplay. Make sure to wear a dance belt or supportive/covering underwear as it's stretchy and tight in the groin.
The calves and ankles are quite tight and the ankles don't stretch significantly so keep that in mind. If you have thicker ankles or calves, increase your size by an appropriate amount.
