WW2 British Army Spats Pair Size 2

This item is a pair of original World War II British Army spats, size 2. Spats, also known as anklets or gaiters, were commonly issued to British and Commonwealth troops during the Second World War. Designed to cover the top of the boots and lower trousers, they provided protection against mud, debris, and abrasion. The spats are constructed from khaki canvas with reinforced seams and feature metal eyelets for the fastening straps. Each spat is marked with the size designation “2,” corresponding to the sizing system used by the British Army at the time. These items typically secured around the ankle using adjustable straps and buckles, ensuring a close fit over standard-issue service boots. British Army spats were a standard item of field equipment and are representative of mid-20th century military dress. This pair retains period construction details and is suitable for collectors, reenactors, and those interested in military history.
