['thul]

when these beings use the term "leggings" they always refer to it as a quaint form of pants. Not at all related to tights except in covering the legs. So far as 'thul know, it was not all that common with tights in those eras. There were few stretchy materials and clothes were expensive things, generally having to be made to fit one person at a time. These beings guess that leggings more often referred to loose clothes covering the legs, like loose woolen pants. most probably the layout of the seams and such were far simpler than modern clothes, at least among the common folk. with few materials being stretchy, it would be very expensive to fit any leggings to actually be tight.
