M1938 Dismounted Leggings US WW2 Gaiters by Kay Canvas

American infantry WW2 M1938 tan canvas leggings. These are the standard US issue for world war two and are called either leggings or gaiters. 

These high quality US Army leggings are made by Kay Canvas using a specially milled cotton canvas which is stiffer than the common replica US leggings which are often softer so they do not keep their shape as good as these by Kay Canvas. These are like the original war time leggings 

Officially called "Leggings Canvas Dismounted M1938" these where worn by all Infantry troops in WW2 that wore ankle boots like the Leather Service boot and the Rough out boot. 

OD#3 colour canvas (often called khaki or tan) with black metal hook and eyelets, includes the laces.

The leggings have a strap which loops under the boot and fastens onto a special type if buckle on the outside of the leg. The leggings (gaiters) have a hook and eyelet system on the side which allows the gaiters to be adjusted around the leg. The hook and eyelets are worn on the outside of the leg.

American WW2 M1938 tan canvas gaiters worn by the Infantry and where issued to both men and women.
