A faithful reproduction of the WW2 British Army Khaki Drill Gurkha uniform set, consisting of the characteristic Gurkha short-sleeved shirt (or tunic) and high-waisted khaki drill trousers with crossover waistband. This tropical pattern uniform was worn by Gurkha regiments and other British Indian Army units across Burma, Malaya, and the Far East campaigns from 1942–45.
The Gurkha tunic is made from lightweight khaki cotton drill (~7.5–8 oz per square yard), featuring two pleated chest pockets with button flaps, open lapel collar, and shoulder straps. It is cut for ventilation and comfort in tropical climates. The matching trousers are the classic Gurkha pattern, made from the same khaki drill fabric, with double pleats, crossover waist straps with buckles, and tapered legs.
This uniform set reflects the practical yet iconic look of the British and Gurkha forces who served in Southeast Asia and is ideal for collectors, museums, films/movies/theater and reenactors seeking complete tropical authenticity.
Custom tailoring available at no extra cost.
