Dutch KMar Cargo Pants, Surplus

Royal Navy Blue cargo trousers from The Netherlands!

Due to navy traditions, dark blue surplus clothes often have a high degree of sex-appeal, but these are honest worker's trousers.

In addition to the usual pockets, these have a pressure bandage pocket in the lower leg. Pocket flaps are secured with sturdy snap-fasteners and there's one pocket on the back, as often seen in European military trousers.

The peculiar thing about these trousers is a hook-and-loop waistband adjustment, which allows you to get the fit just right without drawstrings or wrinkling.

Size info

Basic NATO sizing according to user height and waist. The cut is not very baggy, but the inseams have shrunk somewhat. So if you like your trouser cuffs to touch your heel, pick a longer size than indicated.

Thanks to the adjustable waist, these actually look good between the designated waist range, and goes a little bit beyond at both ends. If you like to choose a tight fit, you'll be glad to know that the button won't be stressed.

Inseam lengths

Please note: actual trousers may have shrunk up to 2.5 cm (1") from these nominal sizes.

Waistband sizes

Waistbands measured with a 2.5 cm (1") clearance at the pocket tops. The clever adjustment system really maintains a sharp look from 1" over to 3" under the nominal waistband size.

Material and care

50/50% Poly-Cotton. These can be machine-washed at 60° C / 140° F , but less will do.

Dutch Military Surplus

These trousers are part of the boat uniform (boordtenue, BT) or field uniform (veldtenue, VT) of the Royal Navy and Royal Marechaussee. They are required to retain a sharp look and uniform colour even after repeated washing and wear. As such, these are in respectable condition. The VT versions have 40 cm / 15.5" deep baton pockets at the side seams below the regular side pockets. We haven't sorted these apart.
