Australian Hose Tops (2015-08-30)
Received my dozen bundle of hose tops in a timely manner. I got them to use with a Victorian camp impression and they will be great but as I am a big fan of John Masters I really wish I had a squad of Gurka Riflemen to share them with. Thanks.

(Aust. mfg.) Hose Tops (2012-05-16)
- Though I collect mostly U.S. & German "Kit", I am still at a bit of a loss in understanding Brit gear; These Hose Tops are essentailly a knee length knit wool "sock" (less the foot portion) akin to the "leg warmers" sported by mini-skirt wearing Japanese schul girls. I think of these more as a leg tube covering (over socks & under the Boot/ Gaiter combination)-at some point, these (I think) were rolled over to form a top 'cuff'
- In any case I purch. an Aussie made WW2 original tied bundle (12 pr. in all !) - they were "mint"/ unissued - No 'issues'
