EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into Comfort and Blend In: Khaki Stocking Puttees by Turnbull and Asser, 1916 Amid the harsh realities of the First World War battlefields, soldiers and officers sought solace in the small comforts of home. One such comfort came in the form of Turnbull and Asser's innovative Khaki Stocking Puttees, introduced in 1916. These puttees, available in both medium and heavy weights, were designed for use when soldiers were off parade or out of the firing line. The khaki stocking puttees presented the same appearance as regulation puttees, ensuring a uniform and disciplined look, but offered the added convenience of being easily taken on and off in a matter of seconds. The spiral design of the puttees, a trademark of Turnbull and Asser, ensured a snug and secure fit. Made from high-quality khaki material, these puttees not only blended in with the soldiers' uniforms but also provided added protection against the harsh elements, such as mud and cold weather. Turnbull and Asser, a renowned British clothing company, had a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality uniforms for the British military. The introduction of the Khaki Stocking Puttees was yet another testament to their commitment to providing soldiers with functional and stylish clothing solutions. These puttees were an essential addition to a soldier's wardrobe during the war, offering both practicality and comfort in the face of adversity. The image above, captured in 1916, showcases the Khaki Stocking Puttees in use, highlighting their seamless integration into the soldiers' uniforms and their popularity among the ranks.
