Paintings from the 1760s onward document these Half-Length Spatterdashes. Sporting men, laborers, and soldiers alike wore these to protect their legs and to prevent stones and sticks from falling into one’s shoes.

We make these in black linen with cotton canvas lining. Choose size small (calf 13 -15 ), medium (15 1 2 -16 1 2 ), large 17 -19 1 2 ), extra-large (20-22 1 2 ).

 You will receive the Spatterdashes, fitting instructions, and enough black horn buttons to custom fit them to your legs. The straps on these spatterdashes are made of the same fabric as the leg covering. You will need to sew on the buttons. You will want to enlist a “willing assistant” to help you with measuring and fitting. Click here for Measuring advice.
