1) THE BEST KHAKIS YOU WILL EVER OWN! Pennsylvania Khakis (est. 1948) used to make pre-takeover Bill's Khakis, and after Bill's moved away from them they continued to make their own khakis--which, it seems, are actually better than even the old-school Bills! Made in Berks Co. PA, these are beautiful--thick, sturdy cotton designed to last a lifetime. These are flat-front and uncuffed. They have a tartan waiststrip in the interior, and are in absolutely excellent condition, with the exception of small mark by the cuff, as shown--they have also been let down. But unless you have VERY small friends no-one will ever notice these details. Tagged 36, these measure Waist: 18, Inseam 32 5/8 (+1 1/2). Asking just $29, or offer.





2) NOS "Botany" worsted wool blend trousers. What are these blended with? I have no idea, as they feel to be all lightweight worsted wool--perfect for overheated modern offices. Except that these were made FAR before modern offices were overheated, being New Old Stock--with all of their original tags attached! Absolutely excellent condition. Flat front, cuffed. Waist: 18 1/2; Inseam: 28 (+1) with 1 1/2" cuff. Asking just $22.






3) Ralph Lauren Purple Label Cords. Made in Italy. Flat front and luxurious, these are lovely chocolate brown cords! They have two minor blemishes--a small rub on the front, and a small mark on the back which might come out with cleaning. Very Good condition, and so just $24. Tagged 38. Waist: 18 1/2; Inseam: 28 1/4 (+0).

13) GENUINE BRITISH ARMY TREWS! Trews are a traditional form of Highland dress, the term originated as an Anglicization of the Scots truis, from the Scots Gaelic triubhas. They're a form fitting trouser, traditionally higher-waisted than regular trousers so that they are appropriate to wear with an Argyle jacket as well as more usual Saxon jacket (i.e., the standard sports coat). Until the formation of the Royal Regiment of Scotland in 2006 trews were part of mess and full dress uniform for lowland regiments, and also (after 1994) for the composite regiment known as The Highlanders, which had been formed from the Seaforth, Gordon, and Cameron Highland regiments.

These trews were produced to be mess dress for The Highlanders regiment, specifically for members of the former Seaforth Regiment, in Mackenzie tartan, likely just prior to 2006. They are traditionally high waisted, and features both extra-wide belt loops to accommodate traditional Scottish kilt belts and suspender buttons internally. They can be tightened or loosened by the side adjusters. Cut from heavy wool, these would make ideal festive trousers for civilians, being completely appropriate for black tie wear with a tuxedo. Flat front.

These are in excellent condition, and, although this is not noted, were Made in the UK. Waist: 17; Inseam: 33 1/2 (+1). Asking just $45, or offer.





14) Four Panel Cord Trousers. Invented by Chipp, the four panel trouser has become a mainstay of GTH Ivy Style. These cords are a lovely example, being a combination of kelly green and navy blue. No maker listed, but likely Made in the USA, these are flat front and in excellent condition. Waist: 16 3/4; Inseam: 29 1/2 (+2 1/2). Asking just $25.
