This listing is for a pair of vintage Japanese kyahan leg gaiters in dark indigo cotton.

These vintage Japanese kyahan are practical lower-leg gaiters traditionally worn by travelers, laborers, farmers, and others working or walking outdoors to protect the legs and help keep clothing securely contained.

Made from durable dark indigo cotton, which is historically valued in Japanese workwear for its reputed insect-repelling qualities. This pair wraps snugly around the calves and secures with both long fabric ties and unusual gold-tone stamped metal toggle fasteners that pass through reinforced openings along the opposite edge.
