Making WW2 Gaiters | Historical Boot Cover DIY

- Today, I'm making some WW2-inspired gaiters. If you've never heard of gaiters, they're basically boot covers. This look was also common during WW1. While these aren't historically accurate, I think they definitely look the part for a costume or a cosplay. I think it would be an easy job to change the laces to zippers or buttons for easier access. I think this proces could be easily adapted to make regular boot covers, spats, or half chaps. BTW, my roommate ended up winning best group costume at his job. In case you can't tell, he was a safari hunter and everybody else was animals. Not exactly a WW2 costume, but he wanted to be able to reuse these boot covers for various costumes and cosplays he wants to do in the future.

Love the group costumes. The gaiters turned out very nice.
ive been trying to figure out what these were called for so long lol thank you!
Nice job!!! still make very good protection for construction or landscape work.
Nice job. Im making some that will actually be for wild brush. Thanks
Outstanding!
Aww to bad you didn't make a pattern of these. I would totally buy this pattern from you off of etsy or where ever.
I looked at the thumb nail and knew it was gonna be good
Thank you! I'm happily surprised at the number of ppl who are anjoying this video since I thought it would be too obscure or niche of a topice. Thanks for watching!
Great how to dude.
Glad you liked it!
what's the make and model of your sewing machine? it seems like it stitches as well as serges.
nice job on the gaiters! very well done.
It's a husqvarna epic! It's not serging but it does have some similar stitches. Look at my video on sewing knits without a serger. You might have some of these stitches on your machine too
@@TheAwlNighter1 Thanks, sis.
they kinda look like ww1 m1917 leggings
You're sooo right! I guess it's not too weird that there were similar styles used in both wars??? I'm no historian though lol
If I remember right, the only difference was the little hooks changed a bit amf the ww2 ones were shorter or something
why not have used a hook and loop system? it's more easily adaptable to anyone and easy to put on. in addition it makes less eyelet posed =)
This is how my friend wanted it made, and he had already bought everything for the project ahead of time 🙂
@@TheAwlNighter1 Haann, ok =)
Ther not called Gators there the m1938 dismount leggings
Another commenter said m1917 leggings. I'm sure they resemble alot of different pieces throughout history, but I just named them based off what my friend's reference pic was called and what he was using them for. They're definitely not meant to be an exact replica by any means!
Make then in leather dude!!!!!
Hi, the process is pretty much the same. For leather, use a leather needle and a walking foot or teflon sewing foot. You don't need to finish the raw edges, but if you want you can use a special adhesive made for leather to hold down the seam allowance. I would also use a punch tool to make the holes for the grommets instead of an awl. Hope this helps!
Just trying help you out
100% appreciate it! Not changing anything now however since it really screws with the algorithm. Thanks!
You should of used canvas
I just used what my friend provided.
