'Flage Guy Posted March 22, 2016 Share #9 Posted March 22, 2016 You better grab those, if you haven't already. The #2s are Kersey-Lined Trousers which were made to go with the Arctic Field Jacket, and they don't show up that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyDog Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share #10 Posted March 22, 2016 I picked up both pairs of trousers. My thanks to all who replied and told me to get these. They were at an antique showroom; the booth dealer was not present, but I am told they have more things like this for sell. I have their card and will be contacting them soon. Are the mountain trousers what was referred to as "M1942 Type II Mountain Trousers"? They have two buttons above the fly zipper. My next question...Should I have them dry cleaned or just leave them as is? I have no plans to display them in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Flage Guy Posted March 23, 2016 Share #11 Posted March 23, 2016 If you consider having them cleaned, check to see if there are spec tags present before you send them out. I ordered an unissued Overcoat dry-cleaned one time, and somebody didn't get the message and washed it, destroying the spec tag. Since then, I've never entrusted anything to cleaners again.
