Good video! If you look at your early gaiters, you'll see that there is a small stud in the back. This was to tie a shoelace onto and then through the leather loop at the back of the Marching Shoes to keep them from riding up.
I just had a question in my head about Civil.War bandages. I watched an informative video before I realized it was you! Just recently watched your Yucca pack video. I enjoy your content on a vintage approach to things. We can all learn from the past.
Those are a great selection. Russell still has it's designs which work well. So did Red Wing. Today's Iron Ranger is quite close to the 1927 model. That boot was .99 in adds. In today's money maybe $18. They are not that cheap. Don't forget many tucked their pant cuffs in their socks as well. You probably want another pair for camp or the drive home as you know what cockle burrs and spanish needles do to your clothing.
I have a pair knee high leather gaiters from Bushcraft Spain, they are not as waterproof as the modern goretex gaiters but I like them as I am into retro stuff. Best worn with thick woolen stockings and moleskin breeches.
Thanks for the info and advice! I had a pair of the leather gaiters and for the purpose worked wonderfully but I didn't care for the flexibility, they felt very restrictive. They were issued gear to cavalry so for horse riding I can really see where they shine
@@honorableoutfitters Horse riding gaiters are a lot stiffer, these are a lot softer leather, anyway I was out in my woods today wearing waxed canvas chaps to protect me from nettles and thorns, traditional Barbour thornproof, had them for decades.
Great Video Mr. Dyer and Thank You!
Good and informative video! Thanks!
I appreciate that brother!
Logsdon and co. Sells a great tall pair of leather boots
I have heard only good things! He's also taking pre orders on moccasin bird shooters
