Vintage from the Apartheid era. These are not in active service anymore, and not even really sold to the civilian market either at any point in history. In theory these are pretty basic pair of combat trousers, but the general cut is thought out pretty well - these are actually quite neat for what they are. Notable characteristics include large belt loops, the first aid pocket on the front, and the strong fabric, along with nutria brown color. Belt not included!
Materials and care
100% cotton. Wash at 40 degrees Celsius, maybe even 60. Drip dry only.
Size info
The pants are labeled with centimeters, or inches and centimeters. The centimeters mean the recommended waist and inseam in this order. The inches refer to the waist, and we have marked the inseam length in centimeters. The thing is, the inch-sized pants had a lot of variation in length, so we measured all of the inseams by the centimeter. Now you are very likely to find your correct size! If you don't know what a centimeter is, use the converter above.
Genuine SADF surplus
In very good used condition. Only small signs of use at worst.
While they have a ton of military kit circling around in Africa, the stuff is usually used up in the spot or just sold to another state. That's why African surplus is relatively rare.

EDIT: toiset housut saapuivat ja ne olivatkin sitten nähtävästi tukkurin toimesta hiukan epäpätevästi kavennettu sen varuskunnan lihavimman kantaupseerin housuista. Ei näin, ei tuollaisia rankasti jo valmiiksi modattuja voi myydä samaan hintaan kuin muokkaamatonta tavaraa. Ei käynyt toisten housujen osalta tuuri Leka-arpajaisissa - takaisin lähtevät. Jos olisin tiennyt että näiden(kin) kohdalla on tuurista kiinni mitä saa, niin olisin jättänyt tosin kokonaan tilaamatta - nyt sain sentään yhdet käyttökelpoiset housut.

I'd rate this product higher and would recommend it in case the sizes where predictable, I currently have two pairs to send back and the third pair are now a great fit and I'm satisfied. So if you feel like they're worth the hassle they are, if not, go for something cheaper what fits from the get-go.
EDIT: I've used these pants for a couple of months now and the textile they're made of is quite porous, they've cracked once in the crotch and the stiching might come apart with extended use, especially around the pockets, if you bring them to a tailor to reinforce them they're more reliable but for the price I'd rather go with the Austrian Anzug pants that are nearly indestructable (for a fraction of the price) and can be used both as streetwear and in rough conditions without worries. Don't get me wrong, I still wear mine a lot because god aren't they something aesthetically, I just wish they where sturdier
