@sgtpeppers291 Those are Marine Corps leggings. The ones in the video are U.S. Army.

So you wear them with the lacings on the outside of the leg? I have a picture of my father in 1941 with his lacings on the inside. Maybe it depended on the preferences of the unit commander.

@kpadmirer It's possible, but with the laces on the inside you also have the hooks on the inside and that could easily trip you up.

what size r ur leggings

[MrBuddyisreal]

@D13fledermause i wear civil war gaiters/leggings on my cowboy boots to keep them snug. But i wear them under my pants.

[sgtpeppers291]

@mx5matt Thank you i am using them for a ww2 seabees uniform.

[D13fledermause]

Would anybody wear these for use in an everyday situation were they not in the military? Would they be good for work out in the woods or something?

@ww2freak001 look at my vid the leggings r in it

[ww2freak001]

@MrKG1020 Srry, dont know what kind they are. what color are they? and can you see a date on the inside?

and do thy look ww2 or ww1? (ww1 are longer) if the date goes back to ww1 and their not a ww1\ww2, then their more than likely to be Civil war, or juest some old leggings that are really dirty.
