What period are these leggings appropriate for?

These leggings are a reproduction of the 1917 Army pattern. The US Army returned to a laced legging in 1917, though wrap puttees became more common during WWI. The US Marine Corps also used this pattern of legging into the 1930s.

What is the quality of the material and construction?

The leggings are made from good quality canvas and are well-made. The workmanship is excellent, and the leggings are authentic-looking. Some leggings have foot straps sewn in the wrong position, requiring re-stitching.

Are there any issues with the hardware?

The eyelets and speed lace hooks can pop out of their posts with light lacing. This issue has occurred with multiple pairs of leggings. It is suggested that the eyelets and lace hooks need better stamping before shipping.

What colour are the leggings?

The leggings are available in an OD (Olive Drab) colour. Some leggings are expected to be khaki coloured, but the OD colour is supplied.

How do the leggings fit in terms of height?

The leggings are sometimes shorter than expected, with some being about an inch short of covering breeches lacing. Some leggings are 3/4 of an inch too short compared to original leggings. Original leggings came in both 6-hook and 7-hook versions, with the 7-hook style being similar to SpanAm leggings.
