WW2 British Battle Dress Trousers Austerity 40 Pattern, Original pair of wartime battle dress trousers. These are of the austerity 40 pattern which was introduced in 1942. They are in good condition with slight mothing to the crotch area. All the steel buttons remain in place for the braces and fly, as well as the plastic/vegetable type on the front/rear pocket and field dressing pocket. Unfortunately, this example is missing its size label but is ink stamped to the inside waist ‘N’ above the WD stamp, denoting this to be of 1943 manufacturer. Good large size, perfect for display.
