Here is RedHotRidinHood and me in ours. Mine were given to me by a friend and they just happen to fit... Yay! They were originally issued to a Lou G Daniel of the R(?) S Co. 21. Red got hers at an estate sale. :)

I love those! I saw a pair on a surplus store yesterday, but they were too small for me. Nothing is as flattering as sailor pants, or most any wide-leg pants.


ETA: Here is a site with an assortment, mostly wool:

You two look great! I got a pair of repro sailor pants from the ebay seller missbombshell last year - I see she still offers them. They're nice - very flattering. She makes them in jeans fabric also.

When were you able to get them for 20?! I had to pay full price!

It was about a month ago when Old Navy had their "unadvertised" fall sale. I happened to go in there for some retail therapy break from school, saw the row of white buttons, and was eternally lost. :D

Lo and RHRH what an adorable pic of the two of you! Love the pants!

Goldwyn, what a great outfit. Love the hair too.

Gotta get me another pair of sailors. The only ones I have are too small right now.

I picked these up while I was home in Australia in August. Not true sailor pants but I like them just the same.

I love those pants. They have a similar pair at Urban outfitters. I find the Lux brand to have a short inseam though.
