Appearing in the ranks of the British Army in the late 1930s, trousers with puffy pockets have remained a staple of wartime uniforms. And since holding high military positions is part of the royal power missions of the Windsor family, the dress naturally finds its place in the highly coded appearance of its members. Kate Middleton, recently commissioned as a colonel in the Irish Guards, also matched these same trousers to the soldiers’ formal jacket during her first visit to the Salisbury training base last March. A commitment to his country that he does not remember next to the coronation, the spade and wheelbarrow as a gun.
