These are a fantastic bit of kit. The weave is very fine and the tie-off is ample and well-attached. They can be straight-wrapped or turned and stay close to the calf either way. The wool is deceptively soft with a sweet nap, but I came away from a bushwacking foray with just a few rose thorns still clinging and never once was caught up myself, whereas last year in the same spot wearing just trousers I was dreadfully tangled. Good, practical item, very well made -- really a bargain.

Very well made

Much better than the blanket-wool puttees that the other sites sell. These are woven like the originals and therefore have a good elasticity to them. They can be wrapped on properly and stay put. WPG shipped these very fast, and communicated information on them (tracking, updates, etc), often.

Reenactors need this change!!

I think the whole of the ww1 reenactment community would benefit if these puttees were in a khaki color that matched the uniform! They're good repros and there's nothing else on the market like these. Please, hear our request!
