Post by: Hector on January 05, 2012, 00:10:03: 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

Thanks for offering them though.

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.

Post by: Hector on January 06, 2012, 13:41:32: 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 :)

Post by: bionear2 on March 31, 2012, 16:53:32: 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.
