Description

A pair of olive/tan canvas spats. Both spats are wide at the top, taper very slightly inwards, and then flare out again slightly towards the bottom. Down the center of the spats are nine metal hooks on one side, and a single lace looped through nine metal grommets on the other side; the lace fits into the hooks to close the spats. At the bottom of the spats is a fabric strap, that slides through a metal buckle.

There are more words underneath these inscriptions, but they are so faded that it's hard to make them out.
