Scope and content
Olive drab cotton trousers with grey / brown alpaca pile fabric lining. Trousers fasten centre front with a button fly of four plastic buttons and have buttons for braces at the waistband. On either side of the waist there is an vertical, inseam, welted pocket, lined in cream cotton. At the rear, there are two flap pockets that each fasten with one button. Towards the bottom of each trouser leg there are angled, welted pockets with a zip closure [with ‘CONMAR’ metal zip pulls]. At the cuffs of each trouser leg are two button fastening tabs so that the trousers sit tightly and securely at the ankle. Faint white print of the emblem of the USAF is to the front left top of the trousers.
