For a limited time only: receive a free men’s knit with every pair of our 1940s or 1950s trousers.
Simply add your chosen trousers and any MEN’S FAIR ISLE waistcoat or slipover to your basket, then apply the code FREEKNIT at checkout – the knitwear will be completely free!
Authentic high-waisted wide-leg trousers with front pleats, crafted from high-quality tailoring fabric following the original 1945 pattern and 'Demob' specification. Featuring striped waistband lining and buttons for braces, these trousers include turn-ups, just as they were worn for the first time after WWII.
Important: The inside leg measurement is 1 inch shorter than your usual trousers to allow for the loose 1940s fit. Please order one size larger than your modern trousers for the correct fit, as these sit at the navel, which is typically higher than the waistband on modern trousers.

Great fit, was a perfect length for me.
We're delighted to hear you're happy with your new trousers, Jerry!
great look
Thank you for your review!
I had a bit of an issue with these trousers, initially I orded the wrong size, I'm a 32 or a 34 depending on shops, I thought I'd order a 34 but they wer a bit too snug, Laura was excellent, I returned the 34s and a pair of 36 were in the post as soon as they were ready. They're a little on the long side, which I knew they would be, luckily my wife is pretty good with a sewing machine and will get the lenght right for me. The quality of these trousers is excellent as is the customer service.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that the initial size didn't quite work out for you, but we're glad our Laura was able to assist you with a quick and easy exchange. Enjoy your new trousers!
Trousers were so long (about 6") that they were not useable. Definitely not a 33" inseam.
Thank you for taking the time to leave our 1940s trousers a review. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced with length of this pair. It sounds like the sizing may have been incorrect and we are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. If you would like assistance with returning the trousers for a new correct pair or a refund, please email us at info@theseamstressofbloomsbury.co.uk and we will be happy to help.
THEY ARE FABULOUS.
