Canadian Marked (C and Broad Arrow) Khaki Wool Riding Breeches

[Teapot]

I have a pair of khaki riding breeches that I was given when I worked at a riding school after high school. They seem to be in fairly good shape.Inside the pocket I found a patch with the size printed on them along with a stock number perhaps.
However I know nothing about them. Are they wartime breeches or post-WW-II? Thus far there has been no information to be gleaned from the net. Any help with information would be appreciated.

They're WWII dispatch rider or motorcyclists pantaloons.

Any idea of their value?

[gsimmons]

I'm not sure. I paid about $40 for a pair around 5 yrs. ago.

They are the WW2 pattern with the bandage pocket on the front of the right thigh (P37). Being a relatively small size I'd say the $40 number is fairly close. If they were a little larger (tough to find to fit a "modern" body type) they might bring twice that to the right buyer. I have a 1943 BSA despatch bike. It took me years to find a good pair of these with a 36" waist.
