An all-time favorite of gentleman’s attire has been deftly resurrected by Buzz Rickson’s – the 1942 U. S. Army Khaki Trousers!  Crafted from hard-wearing uniform twill that matches the original spec. in both color, heft and hand perfectly, these trousers will surpass ANY competitor’s khakis you can find.  The design follows the original spec. exactly, having a vintage high-rise hugging waist, stove-pipe leg that is full cut into the seat for comfort and all inner and outer side and seat seams are double-stitched and wrap-folded for extra strength.  The inner-hung pockets and waistband are fabricated from heavy-weight, off-white cotton drill, exactly as the original trousers were made, and the fly buttons are the pre-war zinc buttons stamped with stars and “U. S. Army & U. S. A.” text, making these trousers early 1942 production before all of the buttons were replaced with brown bakelite types.  That extra bit of authentic detailing we all have come to expect from Buzz Rickson’s has not been left out; you’ll find the original-style contractor label with quartermaster nomenclature sewn to the underside of the right inner-hung pocket and the waist and inseam size stamped in black into the waistband, exactly as found on the original examples.  Get these while the stock lasts, as quantities are very limited, particularly in larger sizes.

Sizes:  28, 29, 30, 31. 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 & 38.  Please note that these trousers will experience some small amount of shrinkage after the first one - three washings, depending on how they are laundered and other variables.  Please see our SIZING TIPS for advice on how to get the correct fit.
