US Army Officer (Pink) Trousers (Light shade)

The trousers are made from 100% wool elastique. The material is thick and heavy. The fabric is chosen to have the correct patina for the period. Despite being wool, the trousers are comfortable and do not itch.

These are reproductions of WWII officer's drab trousers. They were commonly known as "pinks" during that period. The cut, material, and colour are authentic to the original garments. They were popular for wear both on and off duty with the Olive Green Officer's Service Coat.

The trousers arrive unhemmed, allowing for custom tailoring. However, some individual pairs have been received hemmed. The leg length is generally long and may require tailoring for a proper fit. The width of the leg may also need adjustment for some builds.

The trousers are well-made and constructed in a traditional manner. They feature suspender buttons and a button fly. The inside crotch seam has a satin patch covering it. The top button on the fly is positioned close to the edge, which can make it difficult to fasten.

The trousers have a button fly, and the buttons are generally well-made. However, the button thread can unravel after wear, requiring re-sewing. The top fly button is positioned close to the edge, which can make it difficult to button. The brace buttons are also positioned close together.

The trousers often require tailoring for a perfect fit, especially in the waist and length. The waist can be taken in or let out slightly, though the selvage in the rear seam limits the maximum adjustment. The watch pocket is deep and can be shortened or used with a long watch fob. The thick material benefits from steam pressing the fly down.
