WH (Heer) M40 Trousers
WH (Heer) M40 straight legged combat field pants (M40 Hose für Mannschaften). Originally the long pants were produced in stone grey fabric until 1940 when regulations dictated that newly produced long pants be constructed in field-grey fabric. The trousers are made of the standard Wehrmacht field-grey wool. The trousers have two, diagonally angled, front pockets and a small watch pocket. A strap and metal buckle is sewn on the back for tightening. The ends of the legs are fitted with white cotton closure straps. The trousers are nicely maker marked by the 'Lago Schlesien' from Breslau and showing various size markings. The waist measures approximately 45cms. The trousers are in good used and worn condition showing some normal staining and minor damages, see photos. This would make a nice match with a slightly worn jacket and would make a great display. Original Wehrmacht trousers are very hard to find. Nice original pair of M40 trousers in good used condition!
