Reproduced based on the utility trousers officially adopted by the US military in the 1940s.

During World War II, the US military created the 41-KHAKI TROUSERS as utility trousers for the army. This model featured a wide trouser width, dull metal buttons, and rolled stitching on both the inside and outside. It had most of the elements that would later become the origin of work-style trousers.

Dry Bones has been making these items for over 30 years since the brand was first launched, but with the discontinuation of long-running fabrics and buttons, we have completely re-examined the sewing specifications and other aspects to create these new items.

The fabric is a 10-count single-ply chino cloth, which is thicker and more durable than the 1940s version.

The buttons are modeled after metal buttons from the 1940s. Vintage buttons are made of an alloy of copper, tin, and zinc and are stamped with "USARMY." However, these buttons are often rough and often lack burrs, and many are missing.

Therefore, we used buttons made of the same material, but with the burrs thoroughly removed. After 1942, these metal buttons were discontinued and replaced with urea buttons, making them a very rare accessory.

We also paid particular attention to the sewing specifications.

Not only are both the inside and outside stitched, but the welts of each pocket are sewn after a very time-consuming process called "kneading."

The belt loops were also made from scratch, with extremely thin loops, just like those made back then. In modern sewing factories, belt loops are made all at once using specialized sewing machines, so they are thick and uniform in thickness. At Dry Bones, we have recreated the sewing specifications of the time, making them approximately 9 mm thick.

In addition, as a Dry Bones specialty, the inside left and right sides of the Tengu are lined with piping, which is the highest level of stitching for men's clothing (the vintage version has a lock stitching).

And as proof that it was made with such stitching, the right pocket lining is fitted with a woven label that is only found on Dry Bones military items. It expresses the contents that resonate with military enthusiasts like a military specification.

We've taken the classic American casual style, chino pants, and pushed it to its limits to create these ultimate military utility trousers.
