1930s NAVY TWILL SHORTS

Made here in Norfolk, England, by a factory that has specialised in Workwear and uniforms since 1898. The fabric used is a beautifully soft navy twill; the twill is made by Brisbane Moss and is called Keates (woven in Italy). The shorts are a close replica of an original pair of 1930s Army shorts. Featuring a wide leg, a wide waistband, double pleats and buttoned belt loops; all features of the original.

Shorts were part of the hot climate uniform for all commonwealth forces during the Second World War. The British Army had a choice for uniforms, essentially cotton and wool. The thick cotton shorts were designed to be “Soldier Proof”, but also allow the free movement of air in hot climates. Team our shorts with anyone of our linen shirts for that Ralph Fiennes English Patient look.

Proudly made in Norfolk, England.
