FAAA Posted January 25, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 25, 2011 Looking for information on the practice of shortning the standard issue WW leggings, who did it, and how was it done, any period pictures to illustrate the practice.

robinb Posted January 26, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 26, 2011 I believe that I have seen pictures of WW2 Rangers with cut-down leggings. Here's a pair that I turned up years ago. No story behind them. Shown with a standard issue legging for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted January 26, 2011 Share #3 Posted January 26, 2011 Somewhere I have a 1930's pair that has been shortened (and well used). I have been told it was common to cut them down in the Pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
