During the seesaw fighting in North Africa, the British started the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) for battlefield reconnaissance and raiding. They were formed to carry out deep penetration, covert recon and intelligence missions far behind Axis lines. These elite commandos were issued specially designed "windproof" uniforms in desert khaki, light enough to be comfortable in the arid climate, yet protective enough for cold desert nights. This pair of British WW2 LRDG SAS Commando KHAKI WINDPROOF COMBAT PANTS are in excellent condition, with only some very slight aging at the back of the lower right leg (pictured). Otherwise, the pants are in excellent shape, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or damage of any kind to the crisp, clean khaki 100% cotton construction. They feature a single exposed button closure left thigh pocket, and boast thick white cotton drawstrings at the waist. The pants are "WD" (War Department) and broad arrow marked at the inside waistband, and are broad arrow marked and dated 1942 on the original "TROUSERS, DRAB" nomenclature tag at back. They are a Size No. 3, produced by "S.L. & M. FEATHERS LTD.", and are even complete with their original manufacturer's order tag inside.
