US 1908 Pattern Canvas Leggings

These are reproductions of the US Army's 1908 pattern legging. The design was adopted in 1908 and did not cover the shoe. They close with a wraparound strap instead of laces.

The leggings are made from 100% cotton canvas. This material is comfortable and offers protection from ground cover. The canvas is slightly lighter than the material used in M1938 leggings.

The leggings are generally described as perfectly fitted and sized. They are easy to get on and fit well with roughout boots. Some leggings may have inconsistent sizing, so checking measurements is advisable.

The leggings feature excellent attention to detail, including a tiny brass stud on the front and stud mounts on the strap. They also have a brass stud and grommets on the back and strap. The construction is robust and comparable to original period items.

The leggings are durable and serviceable, with some pairs lasting for years through thorns. They are suitable for field use and can withstand debris. The material provides good protection from ground cover.

Yes, the leggings can be treated with a spray-on waterproofing after washing and air drying. They can also be treated with Permethrin for insect protection. This enhances their utility in the field.
