'Chausses are a very rare sock substitute, but they are the only items to have [UPSTEP:MAX] and so offer full leg coverage while being exactly the same size as regular socks. They are the perfect undergarment.' -Dwarf Fortress 'armor' page. Damn, the perfect undergarment is Human exclusive and Uncommon. Truly Armok is cruel.

What are Maille Chausses?

Chausses are a form of maille leg and foot defense worn throughout Europe during the high middle ages. Typically they are held up by being pointed to the belt, and laced in either the rear or inside of the leg.

Chausses saw their genesis in the very late viking era, with their earliest depiction bring on the famous Bayeux tapestry. They were eventually replaced by plate leg defense with maille voiders in the late 14th to early 15th centuries.
