Classic surplus from the British Army. These trousers were "standard" issue in the scramble to fully equip the British Army for arid, desert terrains in light of the First Gulf War. The more famous, S95 series issued from 1995 onwards, of desert trouser didn't change all too much when building off the original design that these trousers used. This older pair has more conventional buttons, a thicker cotton material and a slightly different camouflage pattern.
The trousers come with 2 large cargo pockets as well as 2 regular waist / hip pockets for all of your lightweight storage needs. To provide a more tailored fit, you'll find not only a 2" belt loop system for attaching things like duty and pistol belts, but also a drawstring around the waist and each trouser cuff. The side of the waistband can also be tightened via buttons if desired.
As for the camouflage pattern, the Desert DPM design is world renowned and has gone onto inspire hundreds of camouflage designs, from Britain's allies to her enemies as well as designer brands. These trousers utilise the lightly lighter and sandier colourway which was later adjusted in the S95 range. Over all a great pair of trousers for casual wear or hiking and bushcraft.
