M47 Cargo Pants, Early Model, Size 25 Waist: 44cm Rise: 39cm Inseam: 72.5cm Worn for one season after purchasing as deadstock. These are M47 field pants from the French army in the 1940s. The M47 pants were introduced shortly after the war and used in the Indochina War and the Algerian War. Adopted in 1947, they were manufactured until around the 1960s, with specifications being changed. This particular item is a model known as the early type. The top buttons are exposed, with a two-button specification. The rough, thick cotton twill fabric, dry texture, and the appearance of wear and tear create a wonderful atmosphere. Unsuitable for mass production, the number of fabric patterns and sewing, the side pockets on the front and the hip pockets are welted, a separate fabric is sewn on the back of the side cargo pockets and hip pocket flaps, and the gusset part is also composed of many fabric patterns. The knee area has a double knee with double-layered fabric, and a patch is also applied to the hip, which is subject to a lot of wear. Regarding the lining, overwhelming sewing processing is applied without any omissions, and it is probably a pair where you can feel the amazing construction and the excellence of the sewing. Also, the wide, straight silhouette that falls straight down when worn is truly beautiful. The M47 pants, a masterpiece of the French army and said to be a world-class masterpiece, have become increasingly rare over the years, and items in good condition and size have become scarce.
