Dated 1956 deadstock demob grey flannel trousers — unworn military-surplus tailoring from the post-war period. “Demob” refers to “demobilisation” stock: garments issued or produced for British servicemen returning to civilian life after WWII, when large quantities of military clothing were released into the civilian market. These pieces were often high-quality wartime or immediate post-war manufacture, made to strict utility standards, then redistributed as everyday clothing. This pair remains untouched, preserving that rare transition from military issue to civilian wardrobe history.
