British Tropical Combat Trousers, MTP, Surplus

Holy moly! "Older" MTP camouflaged stuff - these are just like the Soldier 95 trousers, which means the cut and fit is one of the best we've seen. The British army actually let go of these!

MTP (Multi Terrain Pattern) is a blend of DPM and Multicam. Nowadays they issue each soldier brand spanking new clothes, which means there will be a surplus of used stuff. As a service to mankind, the British army then puts them forth to the civilian market. Here's some surplus that's actually still issued in His Majesty's Armed Forces.

FEATURES

The cut is straight from the Soldier 95 line of clothing so it's damn good.

• Zipper fly
• One button-closure back pocket
• Two cargo pockets with button closure flaps. The flaps fold down so that when closed, nothing can fall out. Very clever design!
• Very wide belt loops - these fit even a combat belt
• Button closure tightening tabs and a soft rope-like internal belt. Order your correct size and there is no need for a belt at all
• Tightening cords at the pant ends
• All buttons are the of the "Canadian" kind, which is probably the best button in the world
• Lightweight - comfortable and fast-drying
• Material is 70% cotton, 30% polyester. Wash at 50° C / 122° F

Really, one can't emphasize enough the cut and material of these trousers. The cut allows for true freedom of movement and correctly sized, the trousers stay up without belts or braces. The superb cut and lightness makes these the most comfortable trousers ever. The lightweight fabric also breathes well and dries fast. Still, the weave is tight and these give adequate wind protection. With good longjohns, these are excellent for winter use too.
