WW1 British 1902 Pattern Service Trousers
A rare pair of definitively WW1 issue British '02 Service Dress trousers with double buttons denoting manufacture after June 1915.
Straight legged & with two slashed side pockets the early prewar pattern changed with slight modifications being made according to soldiers field use feedback as the war progressed. As seen here the single braces buttons around the internal waistband were doubled as of June 1915 with a double strengthening stitch introduced to the pocket base which puts them in the 1915-1918 bracket. All of its doubled zinc buttons are present to waistband & front fly. The broad arrow & WD ink stamp here s only seen on earlier issues so manufacture likely to be around the latter part of 1915 . A very good mannequin size the waistband is an approx 32in waist , Inside leg an approx 31in leg ( Sizes are not guaranteed ). There are a few small moth nips which can be found upon close examination & also a small spattering of moth holes around the crotch area although the rarity of these trousers far outweighs their non perfect condition .
