Nice genuine WWII British Battledress trousers, 1937 Pattern.
Intended for being worn with the matching blouse, these high-waisted trousers feature two side pockets, a large cargo pocket (with buttoned flap) on the left thigh, a smaller pocket on the right thigh -- designed for carrying the first-aid packet -- and a hip pocket at the rear (with buttoned flap).
Initial P visible on the War Department ink stamp at the waist indicates that the trousers were issued in 1941.
Waist size seems to correspond to 30.
Very good, worn condition; retains all original metal buttons.
