Australia adopted two patterns of breeches in 1912. One had been developed for mounted troops and the other for dismounted.
The mounted pattern breeches were made of a heavy Bedford cord fabric in a colour to match the jacket. It had two front pockets, reinforced inside leg, and a lower leg that laced down the outside seam from the knee to just below the calf. The outside seams of these breeches were ballooned, the extra material allowing free movement of the legs, while the material below the knee was fixed by the lacing.
These breeches are available in sizes 32”, 34”, 36”, 38”, 40”, 42”, 44” and 46” waist.

These breeches, like originals, are designed to be worn on the natural waist. This is much higher than it is fashionable to wear trousers today. When measuring your waist please ensure that you measure your natural waist. For the majority of men this will be level with the belly button.
