UBB.threads Forums General Militaria United States Militaria WW2 Soldiers leggings

Hello , I know these are real but I have no idea what they are worth. I know these are some type of leggings for a US soldier. can some one give me a ball park price on what they may be worth. I have no use for them and I received these from my great uncle, when he was in Europe. Best regards Larry

These are not a type often seen. They are not WW1 or WW2, but may possibly be much earlier. I am going to have to hit the books on these!

Thanks for your help Jerry

oops double post.
sorry

The leggins are 19th century mens spats usually worn over ankle high boots with mens evening wear and a top hat.
They are colledtable to those that specialize in victorian wear.

Hey Steve thank you for the information,, I assumed they were soldiers leggings when my uncle told me he brought these back from Europe. Interesting maybe he picked these up in England..who knows! I will ask around locally at some of the antique clothier stores that sell the turn of the century clothing. Thanks again SteveRay,, Best regards Larry

Thanks Steve!
you confirmed what I thought, but I have never seen a pair n person before.
I can almost picture the redcoats wearing them...

Same here. My dad told me they had laces and not buttons. He HATED them!
