WW2 Canadian Army Spats Size 1 C Broad Arrowed

WW2 Canadian Army Spats Size 1 C Broad Arrowed are regulation gaiters issued to Canadian military personnel during the Second World War. Constructed from durable canvas material, these spats were designed to provide protection to the lower legs and ankles, preventing dirt and debris from entering boots. The designation “Size 1” indicates both size and fitting specifics suitable for certain boot and calf measurements. Marked with the British Commonwealth broad arrow stamp, these spats are identifiable as official military equipment. They typically feature metal or brass hooks, eyelets, and a sturdy adjustable strap and buckle closure for secure fastening. Utilized by various branches of the Canadian Army, spats were part of standard-issue field dress, commonly used in non-combat and parade settings. This pair reflects standard patterns employed during the 1939–1945 period and provides insight into the everyday uniform components of Canadian forces during the war.
