– – – – – 5 pack Italian army socks, old model, pure cotton, 100% cotton Italian army socks, old model.Size: -Colour:khaki. Pack of 5. The Russian Defence Minister has recently ordered the country’s armed forces to switch to socks, abandoning the traditional system of bandaging feet with pieces of cotton or woollen fabric.Until the early nineteenth century, this alternative system to socks was very popular among the armies (and more) of many countries around the world, including the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.They effectively protected feet from boot leather, which was not always of great quality, and were naturally cheaper than socks.They were widely used during the first World War and subsequently many armies used them another way, wearing them as external calf protectors.
