BW shorts, Flecktarn, surplus

Genuine German army issue trousers cut down to shorts length by our supplier! In short, if you like the Flecktarn trousers - and who doesn't - these are just the same, but better for hot summer!

Like the older Moleskin trousers, these are rather simple and practical field trousers: zipper fly, about 3 cm wide belt loops, and buttons for suspenders. The trousers have five pockets; two front pockets, one back pocket with a button, and two cargo pockets, which are closed with two snap fasteners. The right side cargo pocket has a smaller pocket inside for a multitool, chocolate bar, or whatever. The shortening job has been done professionally by East German labor in an unheated factory. The leg reaches a few cm below the cargo pocket.

Materials used are 65% cotton and 35% polyester, 80/20% in some rare cases. We won't differentiate.

Size info

Sizes in waist/inseam in centimeters (inseam is measured from the crotch to the end of the leg). In the brackets, you'll find the original BW trouser size. The inseams used to vary, but after shortening they are all 36 cm / 14" or a bit more.

Condition

Used, but washed and in overall nice shape. Military trousers as they are, these might have some repairs. Pictured are typical pairs.
