■ Brand 50s, US ARMY, M-1951 TROUSERS SHELL ARCTIC READING CLOTHING MFG CO, TALON ZIP ■ Color Green, Olive Green ■ Details This is a US Army M-51 Arctic Trousers purchased in the US. It's a 1950s (1952 contract) US military item, a genuine military item. It's a cargo pant, but since it's an over-pant, it has pass-through front pockets, and the waist is adjusted with a drawcord without belt loops. The zipper is aluminum Talon. The fabric is cotton-nylon, a thin fabric with a slight sheen and crisp feel. The silhouette is a very wide, "dokhan" (baggy) silhouette with a deep rise and extremely wide thighs, typical of this era. Extremely rare deadstock!! ■ Condition Deadstock. It's a re-issued/restocked item from the time, with the length size changed from MEDIUM LONG to REGULAR MEDIUM (hemmed). The specs and stamps were re-stamped at that time. There is a vintage clothing smell from aging, wrinkles, and a stain from the spec printing on the right front. Also, as it is a military item, some of the sewing is a bit rough, but there are no particular problems with strength. The red stain (printing?) on the edge of the side pocket is from the time of manufacture. No significant damage, in good condition. ■ Size Marked REGULAR MEDIUM Actual size W21-W36 L26 equivalent, the inseam is short in the actual measurement because of the deep rise, but it doesn't actually cause any problems.
