Original 1950s British Denim Battledress Trousers - Size 29x30

An original pair of British Army Denim Battledress Trousers dating from the 1950s which are in good condition.

This pattern of trousers came into issue with the British Army during the Second World War and remained standard issue well into the 1950s. These trousers were used for fatigues and are made from a green coloured denim sanforized cotton, typical of that used for workwear in the mid century period. Based on the serge battledress design, these trousers feature a map pocket to the left leg, a first field dressing pocket to the right hip and slash pockets in the usual place in each side seam. They are cut with a high rise and wide leg as were all men's clothes during this period. All of the buttons are green coloured vegetable ivory (plastic) examples. The original owner has added belt loops which is a nice period detail. 

Unusually, the trousers are a small size and will suit a 29" waist. When laid flat the trousers measure -

Waist - 14 1/2"
Rise - 15"
Rear rise - 16"
Inside leg - 29 1/2"
Outside leg - 42 1/2"   
Cuff - 10"

The trousers are in good condition with some signs of wear and use. There are no serious flaws or damage and they are still totally wearable. Please study the pictures and bear in mind that they are a vintage, pre-worn item which may have small flaws commensurate with age.

A very nice original pair of 1950s work trousers which are in good condition.
