Särmä Tactical Jeans

Tactical Jeans – when you don't want to use cargo pants or camo stuff for covert work, but find ordinary jeans cumbersome and lacking in features. Mobile and stretchy, these would probably be good enough for Chuck Norris himself!

• Elastic material and crotch gusset
• Hidden pockets with easy access for smartphones, rifle magazines, etc.
• High durability
• Fabric weight 390 g/m² / 11.5 oz

What's unique about these is the fact that they look unassuming, but there's more than meets the eye. The cut and material offer mobility unmatched by any casual pants, and extra pockets are hidden in plain sight to keep things available for grabs. The special features are so sleek that if you don't use them, you won't notice them either.

Made in Estonia (EU) by Masi company.

Size info

Many people prefer Tactical Jeans with a smaller waist size compared to ordinary pants. Part of this is because of the stretchy material but also because of the roomy cut: as with Särmä Common Jeans, the waistbands of these jeans are two inches larger than the nominal waist size to let it ride lower than the navel.

Give the sizing a moment of thought if you want a close fit and want to get it right. Below is a table of garment measurements:

Cut and features

The starting point was jeans as regular as possible, namely the Särmä Common Jeans. We added a crotch gusset to allow ninja moves, which are also easier thanks to a 2-Way Stretch material and elastane mixed into the fabric.

The fit is best described as "plain" or "regular", although it differs slightly from Common Jeans. We didn't incorporate any bagginess for pocket space, because the material stretch handles it. The belt loops are big enough for a 50 mm / 2" belt but work fine with regular 40 mm / 1.6" belts as well. Button fly.

• Mid rise waist
• Stretchy, non-restricting material
• 50 mm / 2" belt loops
• Button fly
• Crotch gusset
• Ten useful pockets:
  • Two ordinary side pockets
  • Two (pistol mag size) smaller pockets inside each side pocket
  • Two ordinary back pockets
  • Two (assault rifle mag size) hidden back pockets

Ten pockets

In addition to the usual front and rear pockets, the front pockets have two flat "coin pockets" per side. Even the smaller ones are big enough for a pistol magazine, folding knife, or multi-tool.

In the rear, you'll find two slash pockets behind the side seams. A yoke conceals the mouth, so it's "not there". The pockets are large enough for a smartphone or tourniquet, but by coincidence also fit something you can use to feed an Evil Black Gun.

Material and care

In our trials, we have used the Tactical Jeans for all kinds of rough business, and even after wearing and washing they retain a good look. The fabric is 57.5% cotton, 31% recycled polyester, 10% recycled cotton, and 1.5% elastane. Fabric weight: 390 g/m² (11.5 oz). The label on the backside is made from leather.

Machine wash at 40° Celsius / 104° F. The color bleeds so handle the whites and coloreds separately. May crock before the first wash, so don't sit on your grandma's white leather couch before that.

On colors

The colors are black and blue. When stretched, the fabric reveals light-grey fibers within the fabric, giving a lighter appearance. Especially the black ones may appear dark grey from a distance.
