Canadian Army Putties Dated 1962 Maker Granby Elastic and Textiles

The Canadian Army Putties Dated 1962, manufactured by Granby Elastic and Textiles, are original issue leg wraps designed for use with standard military footwear. These putties consist of tightly woven khaki cotton fabric, providing both support and protection for the lower legs and ankles. Measuring approximately 3 meters in length and 10 centimeters in width, they feature reinforced stitching and durable elastic ends to ensure a secure fit during extended periods of wear. The putties were designed to prevent dirt, debris, and moisture from entering the boots while also offering additional ankle support. Each example from this lot is clearly marked with the year of manufacture, “1962,” and the maker’s details, reflecting its production for the Canadian Armed Forces during that period. Utilized extensively throughout the mid-20th century, putties such as these were eventually phased out in favor of more modern gaiters and combat boots, but remain representative of Canadian Army field gear from this era.
