1970s British Army

Personal knowledge, though I'm sure there are pictures out there, in the 1970s the British Army used essentially the same bandage as an ankle gaiter. See here for brief text-only reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.170.46.183 (talk) 21:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now added to article but with different ref. Thanks for highlighting this. Alansplodge (talk) 22:15, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pampooties?

In the spirit of this page as a discussion can I ask; is there any relationship between puttees and pampooties type of footwear formally worn by Aran Islanders off the West coast of Ireland? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.76.52.179 (talk) 23:18, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Daenim

Puttee looks very similar to the Korean daenim (대님) for men. Komitsuki (talk) 07:18, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"serving both as a support and protection" supporting what? protecting what?

Also the article implies I misunderstood what puttees were; I thought they were a substitute for socks, but they appear to be worn over the trousers. If this is correct, perhaps make this explicit. 92.29.23.37 (talk) 15:34, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Søgårds Mose Man Photo

There is a photo of a bog boy [sic], "Søgårds Mose Man" but the text doesn't reference it and the photo seems more to resemble gaiters. Maybe it doesn't belong here? --Theodore Kloba (talk) 15:58, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
