Advert Description
Pair of mint, as new, never worn M42 WW2 reinforced US Airborne paratrooper jump trousers, with matching US Army braces.
Bought brand new about three years ago; never worn.
IIRC the set cost me about £75.
Very accurate WWII repro, with all the features of Second World War originals including leg ties and reinforced pockets with press studs.
As used in Normandy by the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions on Operation Overlord, the D-Day landings, at the Battle of the Bulge, Arnhem and the Rhine Crossing.
They are 38R waist (so 34 leg), but please bear in mind these are as per originals and meant to be worn high at the midriff, not the waist (or lower!) like modern trousers.
Really tough heavy duty pants and in great unused condition, practical and comfortable.
Superb features include:
- Reinforced press stud pockets
- Leg ties
- Accurate weight, weave, type and colour material
- Belt loops
- Hip and seat pockets, plus front watch/compass pocket
- Button fly and waist
- Reinforced knee pads
- Fully adjustable canvas button braces with leather reinforcing
Gathering dust so may as well go to someone who will use them.
Ideal for ghillie, reenactor, milsim, outdoor work.
Useful, light and compact – well made and durable.
Great for, fishing, carp angler, outdoorsman, survivalist, etc.
Happy to take paypal and non-online payment methods, but buyer covers the fees if using the former.
