Extremely hard to find US Military issue trousers.Pattern 1885 trousers are the same as 1884 trousers, but made with the 1885 regulation darker shade of sky blue (referred to as Mid-Blue) wool. The color is actually closer to a Royal Blue, than a Medium Blue. The regulations called for "Goods of a somewhat darker and more serviceable color, less liable to result from in the diversity of shades found in the deliveries of the various contracts". Reports state that dye lots of this new color still varied greatly.
