    2PLY 19th Century Foot Coverings

    Posted by Ryan Stubbins 79th NYSM on 2nd May 2020

    I could not be more pleased with these foot coverings. They are well crafted and made with top quality wool yarn. I will be ordering a couple more pair and recommending my mess mates do the same. These may seem on the expensive side however given the time put into making these I feel they are worth every penny+++
