These even include the brass Left and Right indicator tabs. Long length to wrap to the knee, or short length for ankle wrap.

What period are these puttees suitable for?

These puttees are a reproduction of those worn by officers. They are suitable for Boer War impressions, matching British KD uniforms from that period. They are also suitable for WW1 impressions.

What material are the puttees made from?

The puttees are made from high-quality taupe wool. The wool is sturdy and soft, with a fine weave. It is thicker than other reproduction puttees, providing better structure and warmth.

How do these puttees fit and wear?

The puttees wrap around the legs like original items and stay close to the calf. They are soft but tough, resisting snags from thorns during bushwhacking. The wool is a bit stiff initially but softens after washing with warm water and wool detergent.

What are the details of the brass indicators?

The puttees include brass Left and Right indicator tabs. Some puttees have the Fox label printed backwards, with the pin attached in the middle instead of the edge. These details do not affect the puttees' function or warmth.

Are there different lengths available?

The puttees are available in a long length, designed to wrap to the knee. A short length is also available for ankle wrapping. Both lengths are of premium quality.

How should these puttees be wrapped?

The puttees can be straight-wrapped or turned, staying close to the calf either way. They are best wrapped "cavalry style," from the knee down, and tied at the ankle. The good elasticity helps them stay put once wrapped.
