As you all know, I love a good piece of camo, and there are very few pieces as iconic as the USMC P42 frogskin pants. This truly is the piece that carried the Marines' on their long march across the pacific. Developed and introduced early in the war, the P42 set was made from the newly introduced hbt camo, hand wearing cotton twill that was reversible allowing for use in different environments. These were built for war, an easy to produce simple garment, with only a single front and rear pocket on each side, and a press stud fastening fly.
Condition
These are in excellent, almost deadstock condition. There are no marks from wearing bar a couple of tiny knicks to the fabric. The only issue of note is some light corrosion to the buttons and a tiny but of rust staining, but this has done no damage to the fabric.
