Canadian Army Battledress Trousers Pants Size 27 Dated 1958

The Canadian Army Battledress Trousers, Size 27, dated 1958, are an example of mid-20th-century military uniform issued to Canadian forces. Constructed from a durable wool serge fabric, these trousers form part of the standard battledress ensemble adopted during and after the Second World War, continuing in use into the late 1950s. The trousers feature a high-waisted cut, button fly, reinforced seat, and suspender buttons. Two front hip pockets and a single rear pocket provide basic utility, while metal buttons and adjustment tabs at the waist allow for a secure fit. The 1958 date stamp indicates manufacture near the end of the battledress era, as military uniforms transitioned to newer styles in subsequent years. This pair, marked as size 27, reflects standard issue sizing of the period. The item offers a representative example of Canadian military clothing design and construction during the postwar years.
