Thanks for the heads up. Not sure if the PS wore the wool pants though. I've seen khaki breeches in photos. Good find for the cavalry collector either way.

I just received mine yesterday, and they are really great. This
is a great buy, at less than half the price of the repros. ($150
or more). These are new, unissued breeches, made of the wool/
elastique blend and were a very expensive issue item, when they
were introduced in 1937. This is a great opportunity to own an
original cavalry item for a reasonable price.
Best regards,
Trooper

Do the buttons have U.S. Army or so on them?

Hi Rudy,
The buttons are of a plastic type, brown in color, completely
plain, with a very slight concave shape. The single top button
(waist) is 3/4 in. in dia. The 4 buttons on the fly are 1/2 in. in
dia. There is no imbossing on them.
Best regards,
Trooper
