New Source for Pattern 1918 Field Trousers

Reenactors rejoice! Jerry Lee of What Price Glory has just brought to market a new reproduction of the Pattern 1918 wool field trousers which where the universal dress pant of the CCC during the Mobiliation Era, 1933-1935. 

Until now, the only source for these trousers was a limited cache of deadstock reproduction trousers from Paul Schipper of the former Schipperfabrik concern, being marketed until exhausted by Man the Line.

Given that no reproduction of the CCC-specific OD33 shade 8-83 trousers of the 1935-39 era has ever been offered, these trousers are the single best option for an accurate impression of a CCC OD dress uniform.  Get them while you can.
