מְמִכְנְסֵי בַד — בַּד שֶׁיְּהוּ שֶׁל בּוּץ; בַּד שֶׁיְּהוּ חֲדָשִׁים; בַּד שֶׁיְּהוּ שְׁזוּרִים; בַּד שֶׁיְּהֵא חוּטָן כָּפוּל שִׁשָּׁה; בַּד שֶׁלֹּא יִלְבַּשׁ שֶׁל חוֹל עִמָּהֶן.

English: The Gemara derives several requirements from the repeated word “bad”: the priestly trousers are of linen, new, woven, made with sixfold threads, and worn alone rather than together with ordinary garments.

On the daf / in context: See the cited source for the full section.
