Manufactured by Gregory & Read Co., this pair of US Navy M-1938 pattern canvas leggings features heavy tan cotton duck cloth construction with metal eyelets, lace hooks, adjustable web stirrup straps, and blackened metal tension buckles. Stamped interior contract markings read "3 / GREGORY & READ CO. / NXSX 23636 2/16/43", confirming a contract date of February 16, 1943, and a size designation of 3. Condition appears very good, showing light storage wear, minimal fabric discoloration, and faintsurface oxidation on the metal eyelets and buckles. The canvas remains crisp and structurally sound, and all contract ink stamps remain bold and fully legible. Offering crisp wartime contract markings and strong visual preservation, this WWII naval field gear set provides excellent display appeal for militaria collectors or historical uniform displays.
