How did you know they were not going anywhere Dave ?? If i had to , id look for some cheap A11a pants to sacrifice for them if needs be ??Are the heavily ribbed knits available for the later trousers? You could lightly stitch them up for appearance sake and always replace them later. I wouldn't be in a hurry to repair them if you have to make any compromises - they aren't going anywhere!

I know of a guy who has the B16 jacket for these trousers , obviously we are telling each other that theirs is no good without the other !Thanks for the pics Carl! I personally would leave them alone as well, to maintain their originality and since they’re just being used for display.
I understand that these were issued with the WASP Type B-16 jacket? Do you know the differences between these A-12’s and the Type A-13 trousers issued with the Flight Nurse Type B-17 jacket? Just curious if there were any changes besides nomenclature labels
