Field trousers M43 khaki

How to choose the size?

To choose the size, you will need other pants that fit you. You need to measure the waist and length.
• The waist on these pants is not high and is at the level of the navel. The waist should be measured on the naked body with a flexible tape measure or string. The waist in the table is maximum; since the pants have drawstrings at the back, it is completely normal to take pants with a reserve of 5 cm at the waist. We do not recommend taking a tight waist. A tight waist is good and beautiful when a person is standing calmly. For active movements, squats, there should be a reserve at the waist.
• We measure the length along the outer side seam and do not forget that the bottom of the legs are tucked into the boots, that is, they should end at the side knuckles of the leg.

The pants should first of all fit at the waist. The length should be checked for people with a height below 170 and above 190 cm.

The size correspondence in the table is only valid for these trousers.

You can choose a size from those available in stock. If the required size is not available for selection, it means that it is currently out of stock.

Description

The basic clothing of a German soldier in World War II after 1943. Made of khaki cloth - a shade of feldgrau, a warm shade of pale green typical of the second half of the war. Used by the Wehrmacht and the SS.

Lining is cotton, aluminum and plastic buttons.

Historical reference.

The trousers that appeared in 1943 were designed to be worn with boots: they were tapered at the bottom (there was no need to wrap them around the leg to tuck them into the boot) and had heel straps (which prevented the trousers from falling out from under the gaiters and boots).

The trousers also received a pronounced waist with belt loops, but did not lose the ability to wear suspenders (the buttons for fastening them remained).
