Hi everybody,
I've got a nice pair of second hand Buzz Rickson chinos, but they're too long. I want to hem them and not make the same mistake I did with my first pair--they're too short.
I can tell from looking at war-time pictures that the amount of cloth fold back into the trousers and stitched is quite high 3" to 4".
Do you have any documentation about the regulation of heming chinos or USAF army trousers? Ideally WW2 documentation but I guess 50s works as well?
If you have the same doc or information for officer pinks I'll take that too as I'm planing to next acquire a pair of repro next months.
All pictures and information is welcome.
Thanks lot
