    The Post Office has a catalog that they order them from. They may let you bower it. Our local office let my son use theirs to order from. If not, stores that sell uniforms sell them or can get them for you.

    Postal Pants?

    Why get those when there are dozens of sutlers who sell reproduction trousers, ranging in quality from spot on reproductions to cheap kinda-sorta. But even those are better than modern pants.

    I too, have several pair available - at least two never worn, and two slightly used but more than serviceable. What size(s) are you looking for?

    Belt loops didn't show up for many, many years after the War of Northern Aggression. Neither did polyester.
