WW2 Canadian Irish Regiment of Canada Diced Half Hose

The WW2 Canadian Irish Regiment of Canada Diced Half Hose is a particular type of military sock used by the historical Irish Regiment of Canada during World War II. These socks, often referred to as ‘half hose’, stand out due to their ‘diced’ pattern, which comprises a grid of small squares or diamonds in alternating colours, commonly red and white, or green and black. This distinct dicing pattern is a traditional feature of uniforms in several Irish and Scottish regiments. Half hose are knee-length, meant to be worn with kilts or kilted skirts, contributing to the distinct visual identity of the regiments. These elements of military attire are not only used in the army, but are also popular amongst history enthusiasts and collectors, as they represent an integral part of the World War II Canadian military heritage. This product is specific to the period and is an accurate representation of the war-time attire of the Irish Regiment of Canada.
