Original 1941 Dated British Army Denim Windproof Trousers - Size 2

A hard to find original pair of British Army denim windproof trousers which are clearly dated 1941. 

These windproof trousers are the first pattern to be introduced during the Second World War and were first seen in 1941. They are made from the same green coloured denim material which was used for the two piece overalls, tank suit and other items during WW2. They were only produced at the beginning of the war making them rare to find today. The trousers feature a drawstring waist and a map pocket to the front which fastens with a chocolate brown coloured vegetable ivory (plastic) button - the same as used on battledress. Both the knees and the seat feature reinforcement sections. 

The original label is still present to the rear and is bright and legible. It bears the title  Suit. Snow. Trousers' below which is the size of 2. The maker's name of Prices Tailors Limited Proprietors of The Fifty Shilling Tailors' is also present as is the date of October 1941 and the War Department broad arrow marking. 

The trousers are designed to be worn over a uniform so they are cut in a loose manner. The draw string allows the waist to be pulled in and when laid flat they measure - 

Waist - 22 1/2"
Rise - 17"
Rear rise - 20"
Inside leg - 33 1/2"
Outside leg - 47 1/2"
Cuff - 11"

The overall condition of the trousers is good and they are still very wearable with no serious damage or flaws. There is a small black mark to the seat but overall the trousers are bright and fresh in appearance and would be hard to improve in many ways. Please take time to study the pictures before purchasing and bear in mind that they are a vintage, pre-owned item which have some flaws commensurate with age. 

A good original pair of denim windproof trousers with a clear label and date which are in wearable condition.
