Late Victorian/Boer War Period British Officer's Hotclimate Canvas Gaiters

An interesting pair of private purchase lightweight webbing/canvas gaiters commonly seen being worn by British officer's in period photographs from the Zulu war through to WW1.
The 12 1/2 inch high gaiters bear an unusual handwritten makers name ''Jackson'' Maker 128 Jermyn St S.W.1, still to this day Jermyn Street in London is world famous for its gentlemen's outfitters & shirt makers, what is interesting is the S.W.1 postcode as the numbering system was first introduced during the Great War so this pair may have been an old stock item hastily rushed into service during WW1 possibly for the Middle East theatre of war.
This pair does have a late Victorian look to them and very similar to those being worn by Army & Naval officer's during the Zulu/Sudan war period, there is also a handwritten number present 6220, possibly an inventory or service number.
Very good condition apart from some surface staining, slim fit.
