Interesting, I appreciate the demo. I hope your students appreciate what a good teacher they have. I wish I’d had a good history teacher back when I was in school.
The puttees seem to be quite versatile. They would be useful in keeping ticks off and provide some protection when walking through low brush and briars .
I am glad to hear it and it is incredible you have that connection! Was he able or willing to pass on any of his stories? I love talking to vets and hearing about their experiences. So much of the "dull" or day to day stuff is lost to history because it was just considered common so I try to soak as much of it up as I can to pass it on when I can. I appreciate your support!
@@honorableoutfitters Do you think my dad is wearing Puttees? Picture taken in 1918 in a camp in the US. The war ended before he was to be sent overseas. Sorry, I can't get a picture to come up on this reply.
Just got your video keep up the great work really appreciate and enjoy your videos really enjoyed the information about the leg raps pretties they look like they would keep your legs warm especially when it came to the soldiers during WWI could you be also you them as tourniquets were bandages to help stop her blood couldn't you God bless you and your family keep up the great work looking forward to seeing more thank you for your patience and your videos Eddie
Interesting, I had no idea how puttees were worn. I have a book recommendation for you - The Frontiersman's Pocketbook by Roger Pocock. If you dont already have it, it strikes me as just your sort of book. Amazon has a nice hardback facsimile edition for just under $30.
The wool itself appears to be woven in more of a herringbone pattern. The twist and roll method was used for puttees that were straight woven and not "formed". Even these, to get the to lay proper, I sometimes need to use a twist and roll spiral to get them to lay right on my calf.
Very interesting. I'd seen pictures of these my entire life, of WWI soldiers wearing them. It's nice to see how they're actually made and put on. I guess I see them as precursors to our gaiters we wear today. Thanks for the nice demo!

They really are. This past summer when ticks were bad in Ohio I felt much better having them on, lol.
Thanks for covering an interesting subject.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice brother great job and info as always

I have learned something today...very interesting. My Dad was a WW I veteran.

I'll check it out! I never heard of it before and I appreciate the suggestion.
Thank you. Old drawings of Australian Soldiers seem to show a herringbone pattern? Do you have comments or experiences?

It's cool seeing the progression of gaiter development throughout the 20th century. Thank you for your comment!
