Vintage Leather Gaiters

Got my shipment in from www.steampunkcouture.com today!  Inside this wonderfully old-timey wrapped package were a pair of vintage leather gaiters (shoe covers) stamped with the date 1957 on the inside flap. The outer buckle is made of pleather so its a bit too easy to distinguish against the distressed leather. A bit of shoe polish should fix up the color inconsistencies just fine, though.

 

Sadly, the back of one is a bit torn and catches on my shoe but should be easily fixable.  They wont be worn until the dying of the coordinating shoes is complete which should be sometime within the next week or so. ^_^
