15) 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.





16) 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.

17) LANGROCK of Princeton! THE Ivy Style store--just prior to its demise it ran full-page advertisements stating that it was the ONLY store in America to retain "The American Look"!--it sold beautiful, classic clothing to generations of Princeton men before its closure in the 1990s. These trousers are lovely--a classic mossy grey with overchecking in berry red and dark harvest golden-yellow, they are flat front and cuffed. These is no fabric listed, but despite feeling like pure wool they are labelled as including "synthetic fibers". But the synthetics that these contain are NOT the same as we encounter today; they were carefully produced to mimic almost exactly the feel of natural fibers. While a new polyester tie is clearly poly, a late 1960s poly tie can be easily mistaken for silk, even at close quarters and when handled. The fact that these trousers are partly synthetic is thus no bar to these being awesome!

Very Good condition. Waist: 17 1/2; inseam: 32 (+1 1/2), with 1" cuff. Asking just $24, or offer.

Just too small for me, alas, or I'd have had these - this is the Anderson Modern again (Dr Everett Scott's blanket tartan! I'd have worn 'em under mine to keep the fishnets hidden for the big reveal... ).

13 are long gone!

(I'm afraid that this is something of a necro thread! LOL)

The four panel green and blue cords are sold!
