USAAF Chocolate Trousers

[Tommy]

Not as commom as Pink's I know, but been after a pair of these for a while. I also get they are really a dark olive, not a brown or choclate.

These Buzz one's are ideal, but way out of my price range

I have a pair of chocolate trousers stashed under a pink ELC pink shirt. Will be home next week. What waist are you chasing?

 

[Tommy]

Well technically I'm a 34 , but I often size up to a 36 or even 38 due to having large thighs. I had a pair of Eastman Pinks in 34 and they were fine in the waist, but too tight in the thighs, I eventually got a pair of 38's which had to be taken in at the waist quite a bit.

Will see if I have second pair under an AAF jacket as well.

Are they low rise as well? Can't be dealing with low rise trousers these days. Shame there doesn't seem to be many options.

@ausreenactor am just about to pm you

Not sure if thats banter or not, but for anyone who doesn't know what rise is- it'd how far the distance from the middle of the crotch seam to the top of the waistband measures. I like my trousers to sit above the belly button, ideally a 13-13.5" rise.

Does anyone know anything about these, very little on the website?

Sorry, I have no idea.

The higher the rise the closer the waistband is to your armpits.

Rather dress like this guy

Than these ones

Well, nowadays the higher end of the fashion industry (not the trendy side) still uses higher rises for the pants. It's usually one of the landmarka of a good quality pants
