Gaiters late, brown leather

How to choose the size?

You need to put on shoes, trousers and measure the circumference of the leg right above the boot (on top of clothes!). For measurement, a flexible meter or belt (rope) is suitable, which must be tightened as tight as you are going to wear gaiters. Gaiters are regulated by leather straps with just 3 holes, so it is very important that the resulting circumference hits one of the spaces suggested in the table. Otherwise, the gaiters will be small or, even worse, large (they will hang out).

Description

Gaiters to German WW2 ankle-boots. A model with the crescent-shaped reinforcements appeared during of the war. There is also a rigid insert in the middle so that the gaiters do not wrinkle when worn. The pre-war gaiters did not have such reinforcements, but the bottom of the early gaiters was reinforced with a leather stripe.

Steel buckles are installed, painted in standard (since 1940) matt gray for metal hardware. The buckle does not have a roller, which is also a feature of military-time products, when industry began to save on all sorts of details. Thick reliable tarp. Stamped RB.Nr. with manufacturer code and the size. Price for a pair (set for 1 person).
