USN khaki pants

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

I am looking for the pants that go with this uniform. (I think it is an obsolete uniform?)
Any idea where to get them? I mean any online shop?

It appears the USN khaki working uniform is indeed obsolete, but just barely:

I'm sure you can find the trousers online, but they're unlikely to have the character of the type issued from the '40s into the '70s as many (if not most) will be the permanent-press cotton/polyester blend. Try Ebay.

I agree. Khakis are very sharp. I applauded the Navy for staying true to their basic uniform designs for many years, but unfortunately they've given in to the current trend of dispensing with tradition. A shame!

I would think you can find khaki trousers very easily, since service dress khakis are now being allowed. It is just the working khaki that is obsolete.

I was in the Navy when the service dress khaki went out in 1975. It was one of my favorite uniforms.

Thanks. I think it's the working khakis I am looking for. As per the photos earlier in the thread.
