📝 Description

A vintage pair of British Army issue olive green boxer shorts produced in the post-World War II era (1950s–1960s) from lightweight Airtex cotton — a breathable, cellular-weave fabric originally developed in Britain for underwear and tropical shirts due to its ventilation and comfort properties. Airtex was widely used historically in military hot-weather gear and underwear because it traps air and helps keep the wearer cool in warm climates.

Crafted for everyday military wear, these boxers feature a loose, comfortable cut with an elastic or drawstring waistband and a classic boxer design true to mid-20th-century army issue. Their olive-green shade reflects the British Army’s practical approach to undress optics in field and garrison use, while the airy Airtex material makes them ideal for summer or tropical deployments.

Perfect for collectors, reenactors, or vintage clothing enthusiasts, these shorts offer a blend of historical military utility and practical comfort from a distinctive era of British Army kit.

 Features Include:- 

  • lightweight cotton construction
  • 50's to 60's dating
  • extremely comfortable 
  • elastic waistband

FAQ

When are you getting more stock in?

Military surplus comes in bulk lots — we can’t choose sizes.

Smaller sizes are more common; larger ones are rare and sell out fast.

Restocks depend on military releases, so they can take time.

Use the stock alert button on the product page to get emailed when your size returns.
