A good pair of trousers in all respects. High quality fabric, very well made. There are some really great details, such as the watch pocket and the elastic ribbon inside the waistband to keep your shirttails from slipping out. True to size, almost a little tight in size 38, but will probably stretch.

Tropical Worster Wool Trousers

These trousers are incredible! The material is an excellent reproduction of the WWII era original in all respects. The sizing runs true, and the patterning is perfect. The only thing you may need to do is to have them tailored for your correct inseam length, just like the originals! A perfect pair of trousers!

Tropical Worsted Uniform Trousers
(2013-04-06)
Simply beautiful and comfortable. Color matches my TW Blouse exactly. I have an authentic KW period khaki enlisted man's visor cap and a khaki gabardine elastique tie that also match the color exactly. Shelby Stanton's book "US Army Uniforms of the Korean War" explains that the enlisted man's dress uniform wardrobe was expanded during the Korean War. Enlisted men were permitted to wear many items that were considered "officer only" in WWII. The reason was that the supply system was overstocked with officer's dress uniform items at the end of WWII. A permanent press dress uniform made a G.I.'s life much easier on summer liberty, not to mention passing inspection! Can you imagine the hassle of trying to starch a cheap cotton twill uniform to make it look sharp for a few hours, only to have your honey (or a fight with some mean peckerwood) louse it all up?
