gentlemaninkhaki:redcoatlady:“Marquess of Granby relieving a sick soldier” by Edward Penny, 1765, detail.Note- The gaiters are very closely fitted. They need to be- They’re what’s keeping rocks and dirt out of your shoes on the march. Loose-fitting gaiters (heck, loose-fitting 2nd Half of the18th C. anything) in films, reenactments, contemporary art, &c. are a particular pet peeve of mine. -- source link
