WW1 US AEF Cotton Riding Breeches W 32″ X 23″

This item is a pair of original World War I United States Army Expeditionary Forces cotton riding breeches, measuring 32 inches at the waist with a 23-inch inseam. Riding breeches were standard issue for mounted personnel such as cavalry, artillery, and officers during the First World War. Made from durable khaki cotton, these breeches are designed with reinforced inner leg panels for added durability while riding. The garment features a button fly closure, adjustable waist tabs, and laced cuffs at the leg ends, enabling a secure fit over boots. The overall construction reflects the utilitarian military tailoring of the era, with purposeful seams and sturdy stitching. These breeches represent a common style worn by American service members in France and other theaters of operation between 1917 and 1918. They provide a representative example of the uniforms supplied to U.S. forces during the period of the American Expeditionary Forces’ involvement in World War I.
