Infantry officer breeches

[Marcel Banziger]

Yesterday I received a pair of Infantry Officer breeches. Now I have to admit I know absolutely nothing about Red Army breeches. All I know is this one looks almost identical to the two pairs of WW1 Canadian wool officer breeches which Espenlaub has for sale. I look forward to hear your opinions on this pair, which comes in clearly worn condition, with several small repairs. One button on the front is missing but all others are still there, and all left a rusty imprint in the fabric. From what I can judge these are all still the original buttons, no replacements.
On the inside is a stamp which is also identical to the one for sale on Espenlaub.

Anyway, here are the pics (I took plenty, hope that is ok?):

And the full set:

Hi Marcel,
very nice wartime breeches in good worn condition!
I think the set would look really nice on a mannequin.

[Marcel Banziger]

Thanks a lot Bjorn! Will do a mannequin indeed. Need a good pair of boots, belt and ribbonbar that matches the wholes in the tunic.

[Bjorn S]

Yes, that would look great. I think the most difficult to find would be a good pair of officer's infantry shoulder boards, I never see those.

[Marcel Banziger]

Original boards are indeed very hard to find unfortunately.

hello,
very nice breeches. I like the white lining inside , and the strap in the middle rather than on the sides.
