Throughout WW2, enlisted man's wool trousers were utilized as a dress garment to be worn with the winter service uniform and as a field garment to be worn with the winter field uniform. However, development and production of wool trousers can be broken into two major types: one being wool service trousers procured from 1937 to mid-1943, and wool field trousers procured from mid-1943 through the end of the war. In 1941, 1942, and again in 1943 the pattern of the service trousers was made larger to make them more comfortable for field work. The wool service trouser, in its final form, was quite baggy and easily distinguishable from the earliest models that provided a neat compliment to the form hugging service coat. Wool trousers were re-designed in mid-1943 to be primarily a field garment and were re-classified as such by thereafter including the word Field in the nomenclature. Field trousers retained the looser fit of the later service trousers, took on a darker color, and had a variety of other features designed to make them more efficient field garments.

100% original pants in otherwise nice condition.
