EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the winter of 1914 with Fox's Puttees, the ultimate solution for keeping your legs warm and protected during all your winter sports activities. This advertisement from the past showcases Fox's Puttees, featuring the new patented spiral design, declared as the best leg gear for sledging and other winter sports. The puttees, made of practical and durable material, were designed to prevent chafing and fraying, ensuring maximum comfort and functionality. The image captures the essence of winter fun, with a sled in the foreground and a snowy landscape in the background. The puttees, rolled up and tucked into the boots, are a testament to their versatility and ease of use. The advertisement's tagline, "Fox's Puttees - The Best Leg Gear for Sport," speaks to their popularity and effectiveness among those who sought to enjoy the winter season to the fullest. Interestingly, within months of this advertisement's publication, Fox's Puttees would become synonymous with leg gear for British soldiers and officers during the First World War. Their practicality and warmth made them an essential item in the harsh conditions of the battlefield. Today, the puttee remains a symbol of resilience and adaptability, reminding us of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the past.
