From 1937 only mounted soldiers were issued these breeches. WPG has faithfully recreated these breeches for the mounted enthusiast. Even waist sizes 32-46 in Short, Regular or Long lengths.
What material are the breeches made from?
The breeches are made from wool elastique, a heavy and durable fabric. This material was historically worn by officers due to its quality. The wool is high quality, with a good weight and texture.
How do these breeches perform in cold weather?
The wool elastique material provides excellent warmth in cold conditions. They have been worn in extreme cold, including wind chills of -40°F, without feeling the cold. The wool also becomes softer with each cleaning.
How should these breeches be cared for?
To maintain their shape and longevity, the breeches should be washed on a delicate cycle using Woolite. After washing, they should be hung to dry slowly. This care method helps them keep their nice shape for many years.
What lengths are available for these breeches?
The breeches are available in Short, Regular, and Long lengths. Medium length is made for a 6ft height, so a shorter person would need the short length. It is important to choose the correct length based on your height.
Are there any specific features for braces or waist adjustment?
The breeches do not include buttons for braces or a tab to tighten the dip at the lower back. However, these features can be easily added if desired. The tailoring is generous, allowing for free movement.
