Hunting Dutch Battledress trousers

[jenkinov]

Having posted an advert in the Wants section and got no replies i was hoping your collective knowledge could help me in tracking down a pair of dutch Battledress trousers .....These are basically 1938 pattern and in a Serge Green colour similar to Canadian WW2 ,,,

 

 

I am ideally after a 36 waist but 34plus is acceptable ...Based on the Labelling i have seen in these trousers this is a Size 50 + ...I have managed to track down a few Pairs over the last few months but so far these have fitted my Sons ,,,

 

 

I am hopefull someone will know of a dealer with a Stock ......Any ideas..

Hoseman ...Thank you for your reply ..My initial searches led me to Monty at El Alemain and they recently sent me a stock list // ...My Jacket Size is a 54 ..Which i have managed to Source in the UK ..But the trousers are all Below Size 50 ..

 

Hopefully the enclosed list will be on interest to other readers as The Dutch Battledress is a great Alternative ..Particularly if like me you have the potential to get Oil and Grease on the Battledress ...

These trousers do turn up regularly here but larger sizes can be tricky to find because lots of us use them to portray Canadian..

[wdbikemad]

Try Sabre Sales in Southsea....they had tons of British, Greek and Dutch BD........

[jenkinov]

WDBikemad ...Thanks for the Idea ,,I went to Sabre Sales this Weekend and must admit I was impressed at the Store ,,Masses of 38 Webbing and at very reasonable prices ,,,But Whilst he had literally Hundreds of Greek and Canadian Battledresss they were all in the Smaller Sizes ...Suitable for 17yr old recruits .............But not unfortunately anything over waist size 31 ,,,,,

 

 

The Hunt continues ,,,,,,,,,,Jenkinov
