Manufactured by Fetters (14 of 24)

The Fetters line is manufacturer for and distributed by Mr. S Leather and Fetters. Originally manufactured in the UK, they are now made in the US. The originals had fully welded hinges and were made of a shiny hard steel. The newer ones are not welded at the hinges and are of a softer (easier on the skin too) powder coated iron. They are made from 1.5" wide 1/8" thick strap iron. The hinges are rolled from the straps rather than separate. The locks are typically an allen wrench bolt in one side which screws into a nut on the other side. The key is distinctively cross shaped with a short allen key as the long extension.

The Pre-18th century design is based on historical patterns from the UK and europe. Simple and chunky.

Fetters Leg Irons

Type: Leg Irons
Manufacturer:Fetters

The leg irons have a 12" chain between them and use the standard Fetters lock consisting of an allen bolt in one side which screws into a matching nut on the other side. The key is basically an allen wrench. Sized to fit ankles directly, they will fit SNUGGLY around army boots. This is a later generation product so the hinges are NOT welded and the finish is more rust resistant.
