Czech M85 Cargo Pants, Olive Drab, Surplus

These are cargo pants from the Czech Republic from a time when clothes didn't have to have phone pockets, velcro adjustments, and knee pad compatibility. Simple and neat!

Size info

Just look at the waist and leg inches if that's your thing, they are true to size.

The sizes may be confusing if you're not familiar with European sizing. They indicate user height and chest circumference. For example, 3-50 / 180-100 means regular length and medium width, suitable for a 5' 11" person with a 40" chest. Yes: European pant sizes commonly refer to the chest. The waist is assumed to be about 4"-5" smaller, depending on body type.

Material and care

Made of a fairly light and comfortable poly-cotton twill. The pockets are synthetic with a breathable weave that's almost like dense mesh rather than fabric. Not many field pants are so cool in the summertime!

Machine-wash warm.

Czech army surplus

Despite being stuck on the worse side of the Iron Curtain for decades after WWII, the Czech people retained a civilized morale and sense of duty when it comes to work, as made famous by Czech firearms. These clothes are made to proper good standards from durable materials.

The vast majority of these were never worn but have spent a fair time in storage. Basic surplus stuff of the nice kind.
