BW Moleskin trousers

Probably the best trousers the German Bundeswehr has ever made. Excellent reproduction.

• More neat in appearance than most other cargo trousers
• Made of thick "Moleskin" cotton
• Model originally made for field use

New reproduction

The Bundeswehr used all olive greens until 90's, when everything was replaced by the then-new Flecktarn camouflage and the older stuff was sold to civilians. Because the surplus stocks ran out while the demand for the older model trousers was still high, they made reproductions like these, which are still popular today - and for a reason too. These are extremely durable clothes, as they are made of thick "Moleskin" fabric, which is simply tightly woven cotton that only looks better with age.

Practical features in a neat package

The trousers feature wide belt loops, buttons for braces, straight leg with drawstring tightening in the mouth and a button fly. These have five pockets; two front pockets, two cargo pockets and one back pocket. Similar to the US BDU trousers, but these aren't quite as obviously military, a lot more clean looking overall.

Material and care

100% cotton. Wash in 40 degrees Celsius, hang dry.

Size info

Sizes in waist / inseam in (inseam is measured from the crotch to the end of the leg). For reference, see the Bundeswehr size chart here.

We recommend checking the inseam length from a pair of trousers you already own and compare.

Made by Mil-Tec

Although made by Mil-Tec, the trousers are seemingly about original quality reproductions.

Pro-tip: to get a pair of regular trousers, carefully cut off the cargo pockets. Kinda like jeans, but with a more relaxed fit.
