£49.99 £41.66

The 1943 pattern JG BD (Jungle Green Battle Dress) trousers were based on a similar design to the wool BD trousers but instead manufactured in a Green cotton drill fabric so it would not fade under the hot and humid climate plus would be rugged enough to survive the harsh conditions of  jungle conditions.

The 1943 pattern JG BD (Jungle Green Battle Dress) trousers were based on a similar design to the wool BD trousers but instead manufactured in a Green cotton drill fabric so it would not fade under the hot and humid climate plus would be rugged enough to survive the harsh conditions of  jungle conditions. Also featured one large rear pockets for carrying essential pieces of small kit, expanding leg map pocket and zinc buttons to prevent Rust. The JG BD trousers proved very popular among fighting soldiers unlike the JG BD jacket which was to short and rode up the wearers back so Airtex shirts were more than often worn.

In 1943 the British army started designing and issuing a new range of jungle green clothing to replace the vat dyed KD uniforms as previous issued to British and commonwealth uniforms fighting in the jungles of Burma and SE Asia where the KD clothing was found to have performed badly in terms of camouflage and durability.
