Leather Garters for Hosen with Brass Buckle, Green, Set of 2
A Historical Accessory for Your Garb
In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, hosen (or chausses) were an essential part of both men's and women's wardrobes. While men's hosen were often longer and attached to a belt or arming doublet, women's versions typically only reached above the knee. In either case, it was crucial to ensure the hosen didn't slip down and remained elegantly taut. This is where garters came in – leather or fabric straps that were tied just below the knee.
The appearance of garters reflected the social status of their wearer. While common folk used simple ties, the nobility and wealthy townspeople favoured ornate versions made of quality leather with cast buckles of brass or bronze. These green garters with their shapely brass buckles are an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a touch of period sophistication to their costume.

How to Care for Your Garters
To ensure these leather garters serve you for as long as possible and retain their beautiful appearance, proper care is important. Protect the leather from prolonged exposure to water and moisture. If they get wet, let them air dry at room temperature – never dry them near a direct heat source like a radiator or fire, as the leather could crack. From time to time, you can treat the leather with a wax or oil-based conditioner to keep it supple and protected. The brass buckles can be polished with a cloth and a little metal polish if needed. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage both the leather and the metal.
