1940s Drop Loop "Swagger" Pants 28/29 wst Tall

If you're a young man with an eye for high-style clothes, you'll like these carefully tailored trousers with their tapered legs (22-inch knee -16-inch cuff) and deep pleats that drape gracefully down the front. They fit just the way you like them.

Five pockets. Serged seams and bar tacked reinforcements. Separate narrow waistband and dropped belt loops add to their smart appearance. Full cut for comfort. The French fly, also known as a waist stay, helps keep the strain off the zipper, allowing the fly to sit down smoothly and more comfortably by taking the strain off the top of the zipper.

These pants date to 1943, shortly after the introduction of the "Victory Suit" or "Dedman's Suit". After this, we see the narrowing of slacks, fewer pockets, and no cuffs. War Department restrictions had already restricted the two-pants-per-suit tradition. Therefore, trousers were offered as separates, and men were encouraged to purchase extra pairs to help their suits last longer.

Label: No label; Talon zipper. Care instructions: Slub Rayon. Dry clean.
