These custom pieces show up in a variety of cuts, shapes, and sizes, some jungle cut, others more akin to the utility uniform of the same era. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese trousers are made in a P43 cut with pleated cargo pockets on either thigh, a snap front closure and a zip fly. They are entirely reversible, with all features displayed on both sides. Any period clothing item made in this fabric is incredibly rare, but this is the first time I have encountered a pair of trousers with this particular design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorn by Marine advisors and Recon Marines, there are very few known photos of these actually being used, but a few from 3rd Platoon, C Company, 3rd Recon Battalion in 1961 are shown. Also shown is a photo of one Robert Veasley titled \"The Day I left Japan\" from 1959.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent condition with light signs of real wear - All buttons, fittings and fixtures are present and working. The pockets, at some point, were repositioned further up the leg, which can be seen by shadowing underneath. There is a seam repair on the crotch, which may need some minor attention, but it is not particularly noticeable while the trousers are worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFlat garment measurements (inches):\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWaist: 30\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eInside leg: 26\" \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOutseam: 38\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eRise: 15\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__description rte\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll of our products are meticulously researched \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u0026amp; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003einspected, precisely measured and carefully washed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u0026amp; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epressed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note that for easier browsing, the size provided in the title\/description is based on the actual measurements of the garment and may not match the garment label.
