Swedish M70 Women's Field Pants, Green, Surplus

Crazy cheap cargo pants for women from Sweden. Made for tough military use. Deep green like the Nordic spruce forest touched by the morning rays of sun. Lo and behold, they even have pockets. Somebody figured out that even women might like those. And the condition is jätte bra.

Features

If you’re used to silly modern pants, these may seem a bit exotic to you. They don’t have a fly on the front, instead the button closure is located on both sides. You can also tighten the waist using the same buttons. The pants come with two spacious cargo pockets and one back pockets.

The pants don’t have belt loops, so make sure you don’t get too big a pair. LIke we mentioned, the side buttons can shrink the waist to some extent. You can also use modern suspenders that have those jaws instead of buttons. These aren’t overly wide, but not slim fit either. Quite normal comfortable pants. The green color can be a bit darker or a bit lighter depending on the level of use. Material info isn’t given but it most likely includes cotton. Durable pants nevertheless.

Some of these have black elastic straps at the bottom of the pant legs, just like old sweat pants used to have. They prevent the pant leg from ascending above their status. However, most of these don’t so feel privileged if you get those.

Size info

Female pant sizes à la Germany bu witht a few special quirks. That’s why we measured these and put the average measurements in the table below. (For example, the size 38 without a letter is a size without a letter.) The waistband size is the maximum size. You can shrink the waist with the buttons at both sides but you cannot make it any bigger unless you leave the pants unbuttoned. The pant leg length can vary a bit from pair to pair.

Condition

Swedish military surplus. Technically used but some appear unissued and the rest quite nicely used. The army stamps inside the pants seem to indicate that at least some of these are from the 1970s. Considering their age they are in really good condition. One would think that they are a lot newer.
