Original 1964 Dated 1962 Pattern Tartan Trews - Size 4

An original pair of 1962 pattern Tartan Trews dated 1964 and in a size No. 4.

This pattern of trousers was worn by Scottish regiments with each regiment having their own tartan.These examples feature the tartan of The Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons) who were formed in 1961.   

The trousers are made from a wool which features the tartan pattern along with a button fly which fastens with black plastic buttons, typical of British Army trousers from the mid-Century period. Inside the waistband there are buttons to which braces can be attached and waist adjusters made from the same material as the rest of the trousers are located at each hip. Slash pockets can be found to each side seam and there are no rear pockets. The trousers have had the creases stitched into the front and rear of each leg which is a typical period alteration.

Inside the trousers the original label is still present. It bears the title of 'Trews No. 4 W.O & O.R Queens Own Highlanders 1962 Pattern' below which is the size of 4. The 1964 date is also present as is the maker's name of 'James Smith & Co (Derby) Ltd and the War Department broad arrow marking.

Waist - 15 3/4"
Rise - 15"
Rear rise - 17 1/2"
Inside leg - 30 1/2"
Outside leg - 44"

Overall the trousers are in very good condition and are still very wearable. There are only limited signs of and overall they display although there is one small hole to the front left leg although this is hard to see due to the pattern of the material. Please take time to study the pictures before purchasing and bear in mind that they are a vintage, pre-worn item which may have small issues commensurate with age. 

A nice original pair of trousers complete with their original label!
