| Full description: |
One medium duffle inner, made of thick cream-coloured blanket cloth with light blue wool stitching. The inner is primarily constructed from three pieces of cloth: one for the sole, and one for the top of the toe and tongue, and one which goes around the ankle and gives the inner additional height. The heel panel is double thickness. The stitching is herringbone stitch in fine beige-coloured thread at the seams; and blanket stitch in pale light blue wool around the opening. Inside the inner is a white name tape with 'G.C.L. BERTRAM' in red. The sole shows signs of use. |
