Vintage 1951 U.S. Army "45 Khaki" Cotton Chino TrousersItem Overview:Up for sale is an absolute museum-grade piece of American military history: a 100% factory-original, authentic pair of U.S. Army Cotton Khaki Chino Trousers from the Korean War era. These trousers were uncovered directly from a veteran's storage locker where they have sat safely preserved in a clean, climate-controlled workspace for the last 75 years.This pair is built using the highly coveted late-World War II 1945 Pattern blueprint, widely considered by clothing historians to be the absolute design pinnacle of the classic military chino due to its heavy-duty construction, deep pockets, and classic wide-leg silhouette.Factory Identification & Stamp Specifications:
The interior pocket fabric features a crisp, beautifully preserved, and fully readable black ink inspection stamp with the following historical contractor data:• Nomenclature: Trousers, Cotton, Khaki• Contract Date: January 8, 1951 (Korean War Production Run)• Specification Pattern Date: January 20, 1945• Manufacturer: Conro Mfg.

(Note for collectors: Finding an un-tailored, long 33-inch inseam with crisp original factory markings is an absolute rarity on the secondary market today.)Condition Report:
Excellent, unwashed vintage condition. The fabric remains crisp and structurally rock-solid with the original button-fly fully intact and functional. There is a very slight, faint line of storage discoloration on one pants leg along the original fold line from decades of sitting undisturbed inside a military locker. It is very difficult to see, but mentioned for 100% total transparency. This is a pristine, deadstock-grade survivor that will make a premier addition to any military uniform display or vintage menswear wardrobe.
