We have on hand several pairs of UNASSEMBLED sky blue wool Schuylkill Arsenal pattern trousers that will be completed to the respective buyers sizes upon sale. These are not the mounted style trousers.
These trousers measure in with a 48" waist. However, WE CAN ALTER these down to any SMALLER waist size and finish to the buyers personal size specifications. We can set inseam length to 36" (max) OR any SHORTER length the buyer may specify.
The Buy-It-Now price is for one fully assembled ready-to-wear pair of trousers right out of the box. Sorry, we do not supply suspenders. Upon sale we will contact the buyer (please wait for our message) to get the measurements we will need to assemble the trousers. These trousers are not available for sale in their current state (meaning just cut out, not finished). However, full return / refund privileges are in place in the event there are any fitting issues when the buyer receives the finished product.
PHOTO NOTE: We recently made a pair of these unassembled trousers and took a series of photos of the finished product. These are the photos shown above and they demonstrate what these trousers look like WHEN COMPLETED. If you have ANY questions about this please message me BEFORE you buy.
These trousers will be made to “Standard Grade” specifications (principally machine sewn but with hand sewn button holes and some assorted hand tacking) and feature side seam pockets, (side seam pattern only gentlemen, as shown in the photographs), a Schuylkill Arsenal pattern right side watch pocket, rear tie-back cord, white cotton drill pockets, white cotton drill waistband facings & right side fly facing, plus light brown polished cotton left side fly facings. Buttons will be paperbacked tin with seven 3/4” on the waistband and five 1/2” in the fly. These trousers are correctly cut with a high waist, tapered waistband and a high rise back. Cuffs will be rolled and machine hemmed with the side seam split in place.
ASSEMBLY TIME: We need to mention that we are VERY busy in the shop we will require at least thirty days to be able to get to and then assemble the trousers. The clock starts ticking when the trousers are purchased and paid for. We have accounted for this with a thirty day (working days - not counting weekends) handling time (see DELIVERY at the top of this auction page). Any questions concerning this please message me BEFORE you buy. Thanks!
SHIPPING: We do not calculate the shipping fee for this item. The shipping fee shown above comes directly from the post office website.
REFUNDS: We gladly accept returns (within the 14 day inspection period) but please process your return through eBay (go to your MY EBAY, PURCHASE HISTORY for the “Return This Item” link). We cannot do refunds on eBay sales outside of their system because eBay computers do not recognize them. So if you need to return any item please process your refund request through eBay. In the end it is much smoother and much quicker for everyone concerned. Thank you!
A LITTLE ABOUT ME: Started sewing/reenacting in 1968. Went full time into the repro uniform business in '75 and retired from full time manufacturing (Stony Brook Company) in 2020. I still keep a hand in the trade though and use eBay as my selling venue. :-)
