Note: the pair shown are an EXAMPLE. Minor variations may exist across military styles, and each pair was own and cared for by an individual, giving it unique character.

Important note: these were originally cis men's military-issued uniform pants, so these uniform pieces were originally intended for the "typically male" body type. We believe they look great on any gender.

Note: the original sizes found on these trousers are sometimes inaccurate. Disregard. We have carefully measured each pair and corrected sizing as needed.

♛Measurements

Here is how to get your best fit. Note the RISE measurement -- that is the distance from the center crotch of pants measured straight up with a measuring tape to where the top rim of the trouser's waistband sits. Find this spot on yourself, then use the tape to take the circumference of your body. Choose your waist size based on this measurement. Allow a little wiggle room for breathing and ease.

Always double-check to make sure the hips will fit you. 

All measurements are approximate with the waistband held firmly flat, tight, and taut:

#1 30x30

Waist about 30"

Hips about 42"

Inseam about 30"

Rise about about 14"

#2 32x28

Waist about 32"

Hips about 42"

Inseam about 28"

Rise about about 16"

♛Condition

Priced based on condition!

Pair #1 is in GREAT vintage shape, pristine and deadstock with original cardboard tag attached inside pocket. This is the pair in the images.

Pair #2 is in very good as-is condition. This pair has one subtle and beautifully-done period mend low on a leg and a bit of subtle age toning.

We give them a quick lint roll before packaging for protection. Dry cleaning or hand-washing + pressing recommended.

Please remember and respect the fact that these uniform pieces are now nearly 70 years old. Recycle history, look stylish, and keep our wearable past out of landfills.
