♛Measurements

We do not allow returns or exchanges, so please ask any questions before purchasing!

Note: these slacks were meant to be tailored to fit individuals, as they are military issue uniform pieces. They are ready to be hemmed and/or tailored by your local seamstress, dry cleaner, or tailor. They feature rear waist allowances and can be taken in somewhat smaller or larger through that same rear waist seam.

DISREGARD ANY SIZE TAGS ATTACHED TO THESE...we have measured each pair individually as the original tags are often inaccurate.

As always, allow room for fit and ease!

♛Condition

Unworn/deadstock. 70+ years old, but will last another lifetime with proper care!

Each has been examined by two sets of trained eyes, but do remember they date to the 1940s. Sold as-found. It's reasonable that a tiny flaw or imperfection may turn up on a pair from time to time on a pair, but there are no blatant flaws.

These have been in storage for decades. I will lint roll BRIEFLY before shipping. To preserve deadstock status for our military collectors, cleaning and pressing is not included in purchase. Dry clean or hand-wash/air dry.

The original size tags attached are often inaccurate. Disregard these and go by the sizes we state.

These were US Navy uniform issue pieces. Each pair has serged or pinked hem cuffs, meant to be hemmed to the perfect length by its new owner. Price does not include this hemming or any tailoring.

These slacks are wonderful quality. Check retail pricing on 1940s women's slacks and WAVES pieces, and see if you can find any deadstock ones that are priced remotely as fairly. See our unsolicited reviews on Etsy!

Please ask any questions before purchase. No returns or exchanges.
