paul_bish Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Very rare, well in this condition. Trousers tend to be rarer than jackets/smocks/shirts as they wear out much quicker (this goes for all militaria not just windproofs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Git Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Harry, I'd love to see a picture of these on the pure white background, like a sheet or a fresh fall of snow. Just to get the colour correction on the computer monitor! Rgds Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Harry Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Will try to take some more pics when I get a chance. I find it the other way around in that the Smocks are rarer than the trs and go for STUPID money while the trs can still be picked up for not so stupid money.

wdbikemad Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Will try to take some more pics when I get a chance. I find it the other way around in that the Smocks are rarer than the trs and go for STUPID money while the trs can still be picked up for not so stupid money. Back in the early 80s "Lawrence Corner" near King's Cross in London had stacks of these strides, mint, all WW2 dated at £3 a pair......all sizes too.......but NO smocks !!!!! Lol It's fair to say that whilst the trousers may be cheaper than the smocks today (mainly the WW2 cammo pattern) it should be remembered that trousers were made for ALL the various colours and types on windproof smocks, and some (eg - green and DPM 1963 pattern) are almost impossible to find today....they seemed never as popular nor commonly worn as the top-half therefore were little used or issued...........the later patterns of trouser as opposed to the earlier wartime issues are incredibly difficult to source today........trust me !!!
