Gurkha Shorts.
Officially known as "Shorts, KD, 1949 Pattern,"
these shorts became famously popular as "Gurkha
Shorts" during a 1980's fashion craze. WPG fans
have asked for these shorts for years, and now
we have them. Made of sturdy khaki drill like
the originals, not the flimsy Chinese made
copies. Two side slash pockets, no back pockets.
Inseam 12 inches. Crossover front waistband with
two side buckles and lots of pleats. These are
high waisted, so measure your size at navel
height. $38

Tropical Battledress and Jungle Greens: In 1943 the British Army adopted a tropical uniform based on the popular wool battledress. The jacket was waist length, made in Aertex cellular weave cotton, and was usually worn without a shirt. The trousers were sturdy cotton drill, with pockets and belt loops similar to wool BD. This uniform was made in both khaki (used primarily in theMediterranean and Italy) and Jungle Green (used in Burma and the Pacific).

SHORTS & TROUSERS
|
| Khaki Drill Shorts with Turn-Ups (Bombay Bloomers). This is the rare early WWII version of the KD shorts with long legs that button up to form shorts. They could be lowered to form high-water trousers in the evening for protection against cold or mosquitos. Reproduction, as modeled in the photo at top of page. Sizes 32-48, $40 |

Khaki Drill Shorts, 1941 pattern. This pattern has the two front closure straps (not crossover straps), front FFD pocket, baggy and long. 32-44 waist, reproduction, $38

| British early WWII pattern Khaki Drill Trousers. This is the early pattern with no back pockets, two on-seam side pockets, and field dressing pocket on right front. Brass buttons as used on the earliest production of these trousers. Reproduction. Waist sizes 30-48. $45. |
|
| Mid-War Tropical BD Trousers. Introduced around 1943, these trousers were worn throughout much of the Mediterranean campaign and in Southeast Asia. They are easily identified by the pleated leg pocket and lack of belt loops. Currently these are only available in khaki. These trousers are not offered on sale with the tropical BD jacket. $45 |
|
| Tropical BD Trousers, specify Jungle Green or Khaki, sizes 30-42 only (No size 40 in Green), $45 |

|
| Tanker Coveralls. I found a few British Army khaki drill coveralls, as used by armored vehicle crews in warm weather areas, like the Desert. These are Indian made, 1944 dated, and unissued. These have a left chest and left thigh pocket, pass through side pockets, belted back, gunmetal buttons. They appear to be the largest size made. Fits my 46 chest nicely, a bit tight across the back of the shoulders, roomy everywhere else. Ample length for my 6' height. These are unissued, but the dye job is a bit shoddy and the khaki color appears mottled. Limited quantities, $75 |

British Indian Army Khaki
Full Hose. WPG found a warehouse bulging
with original khaki wool full hose made for the
old Indian Army. Beautiful hose made in a very
distinctive shade of brown khaki. $15

Fly Whisk. I searched a long time to find a fly whisk that was suitable for the properly attired Pukka-Sahib Englishman. Absolutely required when delivering classic lines like "I'll have my man clean your kit". Braided leather shaft with horsehair "tail". 22" overall length. A great addition to any off-duty tropical or desert uniform. $14
