I picked these Navy trousers up from a surplus in Massachusetts in the 90s. I haven't looked at them in a while. This AM I pulled them out and found under one of the pockets a name and serial #. I think these are pre-WWII because the clothing contract # doesn't include an Nxxx at the beginning. I looked briefly on the St. Louis military archives website but I wasn't sure how to learn about the person who used to own these trousers.

 

The tag reads

Name: LANG WP [handwritten]

Service #:490045038 [handwritten]

Trousers, Men's (Blue, Enlisted)

Fiber Content: Wool (100%)

Contract #:DLA100-80-C-2283

Stock #:8405-01-076-6027

[handwritten initial] KA

Name of contractor : Statham Garment Corporation

 

After the cleaning instructions is another handwritten code, best guess CO80 or CO87, maybe CO82.
