UK Early War P-37 Battledress Denim Trousers (Improved Run)

These are a reproduction of the early WWII pattern P-37 battledress trousers. The original denim battledress was produced later in WWII. The reproduction is copied exactly from an original set of trousers.

The trousers are made from cotton twill fabric. Some trousers are described as a heavy cotton chino material. The material is thick and wears pleasantly.

The trousers are an olive green colour that fades out to match original garments. However, the colour can vary, with some trousers appearing more brown. The colours of early denim battledress varied widely, from olive green to brown. It is not possible to match the colour of these trousers with a jacket from the remaining stock.

The trousers are cut generously, with some finding them baggy initially. They are long and may require tailoring or rolling up. Some trousers have very oversized legs, requiring extensive tailoring to look presentable.

Yes, the trousers shrink a decent amount after being washed. After a warm wash and low heat dry, they can fit perfectly. It is advisable to try them on before washing to assess the fit.

The trousers are well-made and hold up very well, even with heavy use. The material quality is superior to earlier versions of the uniform. They are suitable for activities like airsoft games and walks in the forest.
