These trousers are designed to be a highly accurate reproduction of the M1942 Parachute Jumper Trousers. They copy every sewing feature of the original, including all bar tacks and double needle sewing. The construction details make them difficult to distinguish from originals without close side-by-side examination. The cargo pockets are also large, like the original design.

Can the seams be reinforced?
The seams are well done, but some trousers have had their seams reinforced by the wearer. This was done using iron-on patches on the inside for added strength. The leg ties can also be reinforced.
