Dark blue work trousers : Lieutenant Paul Singer, RAN Boarding Party

Pair of RAN dark blue cotton work trousers. The trousers have blue plastic buttons and a zippered fly closure. The knees are reinforced with a second layer of fabric, pleated to allow easier bending, and the ankles have holes through which elastic cords for adjustment are threaded. The trousers have a slash pocket on each hip and a single rear patch pocket on the right side, secured by an exposed button. On each thigh is a pleated expanding pocket with a Velcro fastening flap. The waistband fastens above the zip with a button and is adjustable by fabric tabs and a pair of buttons at each hip. There are five large button-down belt loops on the waistband. A white fabric label sewn to the lining of the left hand waist pocket gives size details and care instructions, and is marked in black felt pen 'PAUL SINGER'.
