Army Surplus Trousers :)
« on: January 04, 2012, 16:55:18 »
I have a few pairs of these in different sizes. Excellent nick as bought for hillwalking but we are not able to do at moment as one of us not up to it :(

If anyone is interested I can do measurements/leg length.

Happy for seeds plus wee contribution to postage/this site :)

ok. Here's the measurements as the army seems to have codes as opposed to sizing tabs

Pair a/ CAMO Pattern 17.5 measured across waistband and 33 inside leg

Pair B/ Green with elasticated bottom of hems. 30 inch waist and 30 inside leg

Pair c/ Camo 30 inch waist and 30.5 inside leg

pair d/ Green. 32 inch waist and 32 and a quarter length

pair e/ 31 inch waist and inside leg 32 inch

I also have a brand new pair of long ladies shorts 35 inch waist 19.5 inside leg. Bought for walking but got wrong size. They are M&S surplus :p

I don't think that they will be big enough for us . Too small for Tone and too big for me.
Thanks for offering them though.

You could roll them up, like Bay City Rollers :)

If only you had a pair of ladies size 6... ;D
I've got a pair of these which belonged to my son as an army cadet (don't ask), they are wonderful for gardening in this weather. Funny looks when I shop in the village in them, though.

You should get a Glengarry to finish off your outfit...that would gain a look or two :)

They are fab for that Mr Smith. My husband wanted me to post that they were good for role play in the boudoir. Since I have not used them for that application, I will have to watch him closely :)

For future reference, the labels inside trousers will read, for example 80/96/112. That would be the leg length, waist size, and seat size, all in cms. This is standard labelling for any services trousers inside NATO.
Why plant rows of 24 lettuces??
