Notes on the Selection and Care of Polar Footwear
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 October 2009
Extract
An excellent factory-made cheap moccasin may now be obtained from the Hudson's Bay Co. (fig. 26; S.P.R.I., 732). This is made of chrometanned cow-hide. The sole and vamp has the grain left on, while the remainder of the boot is of slightly softer leather without grain. The lacing passes through eyelets in the facings instead of round the foot as in the native patterns.

page no 309 Note 1 In this section the authors had hoped to discuss some additional types of boot which had been held over from Part I, but the extension of the War has unfortunately made it impossible to obtain the necessary details. For the same reason, it has not been possible to publish details of special leathers and tanning methods.
