Canadian RCN Navy White Gaiters Size 3

The Canadian RCN Navy White Gaiters Size 3 are standard issue uniform accessories used by the Royal Canadian Navy. Constructed from durable white canvas, these gaiters were designed to be worn over the lower part of the trousers and shoes, providing additional protection and a crisp appearance during formal parades, inspections, and ceremonial duties. Each gaiter features adjustable straps and reinforced stitching, ensuring a secure fit and long-lasting wear. The interior side typically includes metal or plastic fasteners for ease of application and removal. Size 3 generally corresponds to measurements appropriate for a medium calf circumference, but exact sizing should be confirmed against period-specific charts. Utilized primarily throughout the mid-20th century, white gaiters formed a visible part of naval dress regulations and contributed to the disciplined appearance required in the service. These items reflect the practical and aesthetic standards set by the Canadian military during this era.
