EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into Comfort and Convenience with Turnbull & Asser's Khaki Puttees, 1915 Amidst the chaos and rigors of the First World War, soldiers and officers on the Western Front relied on their uniforms to not only protect them on the battlefield but also to maintain a sense of order and discipline off duty. One such essential item in their wardrobe were puttees, the traditional leather or woolen leg coverings worn instead of socks and trousers. Turnbull & Asser, the esteemed military and sporting outfitters, recognized the need for a more practical alternative to the standard puttees. In response, they introduced their innovative Khaki Puttees in both medium and heavy weights. These stockings, crafted from a durable khaki material, offered the same appearance as regulation puttees but boasted a significant advantage: they could be taken on and off in a matter of seconds. This advertisement from 1915 showcases the Turnbull & Asser Khaki Puttees, a game-changer for soldiers and officers alike. Ideal for use during Home Service when off parade or at the Front when out of the firing line, these puttees provided the convenience of a stocking with the tradition and appearance of a puttee. The khaki color ensured they blended seamlessly with the soldiers' uniforms, making them a discreet yet essential addition to their kit. As the war raged on, Turnbull & Asser's Khaki Puttees became a trusted companion for the British military, offering both functionality and style in the face of adversity. This advertisement serves as a testament to the company's commitment to providing high-quality clothing solutions for those in uniform during the First World War.
