Italian Navy Overpants

Italian Navy Overpants

These are genuine Italian Navy overpants, made to be pulled on over your regular trousers as an outer layer. Shoulder straps are part of the garment, so they stay up without a belt and leave your waist free for whatever you wear underneath. Collectors of European naval uniforms, reenactors and anyone who wants a plain, practical outer layer will find them useful.

Features

• Genuine Italian Navy Issue — Original government-issue clothing produced for the Italian Navy, with the provenance a commercial copy cannot offer.
• Polyester Shell — The synthetic fabric is easy to care for and dries faster than cotton after a wash or a wet day.
• Integrated Shoulder Straps — Two straps button onto the waistband and carry the weight from your shoulders, so you do not need a belt.
• High-Rise Back Panel — The back of the waist rises well above the front and is shaped with a curved yoke seam, keeping your lower back covered when you bend or kneel.
• Overpant Cut — Overpants are an outer layer worn over your everyday trousers, so they go on and come off without changing what is underneath.
• Tapered Leg — The legs narrow toward the ankle to keep excess fabric away from boots and footwear.
• Navy Blue Colorway — A dark naval blue that matches traditional Italian Navy working dress.

Italian Navy Issue

These overpants were made to the Italian Navy's own specification rather than a commercial maker's idea of military clothing. The design is simple: a polyester body, button-on shoulder straps and a raised back. For a uniform collection or a reenactment kit, they are the genuine article, and for everyday wear they work as a hard-wearing outer layer that is easy to look after.
