Low quarter rough-out laces
(2014-10-01)
These are perfect for the subject boot, an original pair of which I have. I washed the laces in detergent and bleach to fade them a bit. You can''t find suitable modern laces that will work.
Practice Tip: These are the laces used as chin straps on the early WWI campaign hats. Pershing is clearly wearing a lace in several Mexican pix; the lace is tight behind the head, and the knot, with tips cut off, is clearly visible above the knot of the hat cords. Also visible in several WWI pix of officers and e.m. alike. Watch "They gave him a gun" with Spencer Tracy; all recruits at camp have them on.
I ordered three pair this time.

They fit my vintage rough-outs perfectly. I took the lead tips from the originals and transplanted them to the new laces.
They look perfect. Getting more.
Pointer. Use these for the early WWI campaign caps. Pershing is seen in a few pix with one as a stampede string and the knot, with the tips cut off, is in front, right over the slide of his hat cord.
