Isn't that the Seinfeld company?
Did someone call for Mr. Peterman?

Here are some very affordable options:

Here is a 1941 pattern for sale, Higgins wore a different pattern that probably came out in the post war period.

Here is a 1949 pattern, that came to be popularly known as "Gurkha shorts"

Isn't it funny that magnum and Higgins embodied the very opposite extremes of shorts tailoring, often in the same scene?
