An original pair of British Army Denim Battledress Trousers dated 1956 which are in excellent condition. This pattern of trousers came into issue with the British Army during the Second World War and remained standard issue well into the 1950s. These trousers were used for fatigues and are made from a green denim sanforized cotton, typical of that used for workwear in the mid century period. Based on the serge battledress design, these trousers feature a map pocket to the left leg, a first field dressing pocket to the right hip and slash pockets in the usual place in each side seam. They are cut with a high rise and wide leg as were all men’s clothes during this period. Inside the trousers the original label is still present and is bright and legible. It states the manufacturer’s name as ‘James Smith & Co (Derby) Ltd’ and the date of 1956. The War Department broad arrow marking is also present as are the various details pertaining to size. When laid flat they measure – Waist – 18 1/2′ Rise – 18′ Rear rise – 20′ Inside leg – 35′ Outside leg – 49′ Cuff – 10′ The trousers are in very good condition which have clearly never been laundered as they are still very fresh and crisp. There is however some staining which is illustrated in the pictures which suggests that they saw use, albeit mostly likely for a brief period. Please study the pictures and bear in mind that they are a vintage, pre-worn item which may have small flaws commensurate with age. A very nice original pair of 1950s work trousers which are in good condition.
