I was getting ready to post this thread but pugcasso sort of beat me to the post punch. Well done with the leg wraps, it is a great and versatile idea that only depends on the cloth you have at hand to work with. I can see myself using that idea as well.

I have a similar idea that I will use this winter. As pugcasso states kilt hose are expensive. I have a few pair and plan to keep them for proper use. The problem I run into is that I walk daily to work, about a mile, in my Elkommando sport kilt. Normally I just wear my short merino wool socks, summer and winter, and my New Balance trail runners. Once at work I change to scrubs. Well about this time of year Missouri starts to see colder temps, even below 0 in the deep of winter. I dont plan to change my kilt wearing to work but do need to cover my legs a bit more. The issue is keeping my good kilt hose in good shape. With 17 inch calves I can see the tops of my kilt hose becoming quite stretched out. When Tobus posted some photos backpacking in military leggings I started my search. Alas the young have small calves as even the reproductions of leggings dont cut it. Then I remembered the legging wraps that many soldiers of different nations used. A few searches on the net landed me on Ebay where I found a pair of Japanese Wool Puttee (legging wraps). These are 3 and 3/4 inches wide, 8 feet long of wool with a tie around the top. After a last minute bid, sitting with my Android Ebay app counting the seconds and me on a laptop putting in a final bid, I landed my puttee. I got them yesterday and they are great. The ones I got are in prefect shape with no holes or worn ties. They take maybe 30-45 seconds to put on each and are quite warm and comfy. With no lycra or stretch material in them they dont lay totally flat on your leg, unless your legs are one diameter from ankle to knees. The do overlap enough to not allow pockets of airflow. Photos are below showing my answer to remaining warm walking to and from work without the expense, need or wearing out of my good kilt hose.
















I know I will get alot of use from these puttee with my kilts but also my East German military breeks. In time, and funding, I plan to get some really nice country breek socks but until then I plan to stay quite warm this winter, bifurcated or unbifurcated.

Cheers and thanks pugcasso and Tobus for the inspiration,,,
