An original pair of ladies khaki drill shorts made by 'Miroy' in the 1950s.
This style of shorts was very popular during the summer as a casual item and can be seen in many pictures from the period. Like their military counterparts they are made from a khaki coloured cotton drill which was chosen for its hard wearing qualities. They have a number of features which are typical of British pieces of the period including angled slash pockets and a pleated front, a button fly and waist adjusters.
Inside the shorts the original label is still present and is bright and legible. It bears the maker's name of 'Miroy' and the size is marked as 10.
The shorts will suit a 25" waist but can be made smaller using the waist adjusters. When laid flat the shorts measure -
Waist - 12 1/2"
Rise - 13"
Rear rise - 17"
Inside leg - 5 1/2"
Cuff - 12"
Outside leg - 17"
As can be seen in the pictures the shorts are in good condition and still very wearable. They are a vintage item so may have small issues commensurate with age but overall they display well.
A nice original pair of mid-century shorts with a typical period label.
