This model faithfully reproduces the 1942 U.S. military chino trousers. The side seams, inseams, and seat seams are all constructed with double-needle lap seams—a specification that could only be produced on a limited number of sewing machines at the time. As a result, far fewer examples exist in vintage compared to chinos made with simpler felled seams. The front features metal buttons stamped with “U.S. ARMY,” and the pocket openings use a double-welt construction that demands a high level of technical skill. The rise is deep, and the silhouette is generously wide in true period fashion.

Product Details

During World War I, soldiers wore breeches—jodhpurs-style trousers—but by World War II the U.S. military had shifted to full-length trousers, officially adopted by the Army Air Corps in 1937. However, the first trousers issued received poor evaluations from soldiers, prompting the military to bring civilian manufacturers into the production process in order to improve quality. Through repeated refinements, a wide range of military chino patterns was eventually developed.
