This WWII reproduction trouser has some unique features that distinguish it from the usual Epaulet model. These include two rear flap pockets, a front coin pocket and authentic to the period fabric composition. They are tough as nails, with a deep khaki color and a pronounced twill structure, which makes them just as natural a match for work boots as they are for brogues and a blazer.
Epaulet trousers are a true labor of love. As with every item in our in-house collection, they have excellent materials, meticulous craftsmanship, fair pricing, and a well-executed fit. Each pair is hand-assembled with old school construction at a venerable trouser house in New York City. It's hard to find a good pant and it's difficult to make one - but our production house is more than up to the task. We're confident that these will be some of the best trousers you will ever own.
The "Walt" is a slim trouser with a lot of consideration given to the fit. The legs are slim but not too tight. The medium rise is comfortable to wear and keeps your shirt tucked in if you want it tucked. They're beautifully constructed with an inner waist curtain, taped & finished seams, and a split back waistband. These pants are meant to be worn for years, and the split waistband allows your tailor to perfectly take in or let out the waist up to 1.5". The inseam is finished at a plain-bottom 34", but this can be let out another inch if you need it.
A Bit of History About Cramerton Army Cloth:
Stuart Warren Cramer 1868-1940, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, was a legend in the textile world in the late 19th and early 20th century. He was responsible for the design of 150 mills – nearly one third of the mills in the South during this period. He himself founded eleven mills, but it was his vision to build an entire village dedicated to the life of a mill that truly set him apart. His vision was realized in the town of Cramerton, North Carolina.
With an entire town dedicated to their production, from bale opening to finishing the fabric, Cramerton Inc. was able to produce unique fabrics in large quantities.
The company first manufactured Cramerton’s famous 8.2-ounce “Army khaki” in 1929. Developed out of necessity after the failure of the “doughboy” uniforms used by the military in World War I, Cramerton Army Cloth became the standard basic uniform cloth throughout the armed forces. This fabric saw service through World War II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
