Original WW2 British 1942 Pattern Khaki Drill Trousers

An original pair of 1942 Pattern British Army Khaki Drill Trousers, as used during the Second World War.

This pattern of trousers came into use with the British Army during the middle of the Second World War and is one of the more sought-after patterns today. They feature a First Field Dressing pocket to the right hip as well as a fly button front and brace buttons, all of which are butterscotch coloured. Other notable features found on this pattern of trousers are the twin pleated front and rear and the extra buttons for the waist tab to allow for different fittings at the waist - a precursor to the cross belt design introduced in 1944 and used for many years post-war. 

The trousers will suit a 32" waist. When laid flat they measure -

Waist - 16 1/4”
Rise - 15”
Rear rise - 16 1/2”
Inside leg - 29 1/2”
Outside leg - 42"
Cuff - 9 1/2”

The trousers are in good, wearable condition for their age with many signs of wear and use. They are still very wearable but have a plethora of repairs and numerous stains. Please study the pictures before purchasing and bear in mind that these are a pre-worn pair of vintage trousers which may have small flaws commensurate with age. 

Altogether a nice pair of original Khaki Drill trousers which are a sought after pattern.
