These underpants have never been worn, so many millions of items were made for the armed forces during WWII that not all of them were used, some can still can be found at army surplus stores, but these places are becoming very rare.
The British Army was kitted out from top to bottom even with warm pants like these.
These look very uncomfortable, but would keep the men warm.
