===Fastening leg bindings===
It appears that most leg bindings were simply tucked in to secure them although a number of other options may have been used such as cords, and garters.
===With hooked tags===

*Birka, Sweden, grave Bj903, a pair of bronze hooks in situ under the kneecaps of a male skeleton. 10th cent. (from Arbman 1940-43). The hooks were fastened into small iron rings, to which linen tabby possibly from the trousers was rusted [HAGG 1986]
*Novgorod , A bronze hook, C9-10th. (from Nosov 1987).
*Winchester, England, a pair of small silver hooked tags found below the knee, C9th. (from Biddle 1990).
|Discussion=
Biddle suggests that a better use for such hooks is to hold together two edges of a garment. For instance, they could have been used to fasten a split in the upper edge of a short stocking, allowing it to fit snugly to the calf. (BEATSON, Wickelbander n.d.)
