The Luftwaffe is a unified air force that was organized as an air force branch of the German Wehrmacht along with the Army (Heer) and Navy (Kriegsmarine) during the Nazi Germany period (1935-1945).

The Treaty of Versailles after World War I forbade Germany's military air power, but the development of air power accelerated under the Nazi regime's rearmament policy.
In 1935, the Luftwaffe was officially established and established as a modern air force.

At the beginning of World War II, the Luftwaffe was the core of Blitzkrieg, operating air superiority, reconnaissance, and close air support.
- Supported maneuvers during the invasion of Poland (1939) and Western Blitzkrieg (1940), and greatly contributed to the initial victory of the German army.

On the other hand, in the Battle of Britain in 1940, Britain's integrated air defense system (warning networks, radar, and interception control) failed to gain air superiority.
This was a strategic turning point, and Germany's landing operations against Britain came to a halt.

After Germany's unconditional surrender in May 1945, the Allied occupation and disarmament progressed, and on August 20, 1946, the Wehrmacht and its divisions were officially dissolved by a decree of the Allied Management Council.
Luftwaffe also disappeared here.

After the war, Germany temporarily lost its military power, and its reconstruction was divided into West Germany (Federal Republic) and East Germany (Democratic Republic) within the Cold War structure.

The West established the Bundeswehr (Federal Army) in 1955, and the East established the NVA (National People's Army) in 1956, each developing air power under different frameworks.

These new armies are positioned as organizations with different systems and control philosophies than those of the Wehrmacht era.

German military equipment at the time was refined through a division of labor system that integrated functional requirements and even ``visual appearance.''

In terms of design, professionals such as artist "Karl Diebitsch" and graphic designer "Walter Heck" were involved in the exterior design of the SS black uniforms, promoting standardization of silhouettes, color schemes, and decorations.

On the other hand, actual manufacturing was carried out by multiple garment manufacturers, including Hugo Boss, who shared responsibility for mass production and quality control based on government-funded standards.

It is often misunderstood that "design = Hugo Boss", but in reality it is a division of labor between "design (government offices/designers) x manufacturing (suppliers)".

Introducing the "Drillich Work Trousers", which were issued and worn by the Luftwaffe as summer work uniforms on bases before and during the early days of World War II.

Drillich originally refers to "Drill fabric" in German, and refers to the durable twill fabric used for work clothes, or work clothes made from it.

In the German military during World War II, this "Drillich work uniform" was praised for its durability and practicality, and was widely used for work and training purposes.
The document clearly states that white to ecru work clothes were introduced in April 1933, and the material was linen or cotton drill fabric, with herringbone twill.

Initially, it had a strong character as "work clothes," but during wartime, its scope of wear fluctuated depending on the situation.
In February 1940, it was dyed Reed Green, which was increasingly worn outdoors as an alternative during hot weather, and in early 1942, the Reed Green summer field uniform, which was more suited to being worn in the field, was adopted.

In addition, while Drillich is originally a symbolic category of "white ~ ecru", it is also attractive that the range of color has been created through lead greening and operation in later years.
While the so-called ecru style is often talked about as the mainstream of the market, individuals with gray to gray tones are less likely to be encountered, giving off a presence that stands out from the familiar context of "work clothes."

The moment you meet a gray person, you get a sense of something different.
It's true that the more people are looking for a color, the more difficult it is to find it. It is this kind of individual that I would like to call "phantom class."

This individual is attractive for its purity as ``clothes made only for practical use'', which are different from combat uniforms.
The details, which are not decorative but have a rationality to withstand daily labor, are established as a style.

In terms of details, the adjuster belt around the waist is symbolic.

The straps and buckles on the left and right sides go beyond simple size adjustment to create a "gear" feel, giving the waist a classic look when the top is tucked in.

In addition, this model also features flap handwarmer pockets with button closures.
The diagonally cut entrance is covered with a flap, providing both protection that is typical of the workpiece and a three-dimensional appearance.

The front has a button front design.

It has the simplicity of a design before zippers, and it emphasizes the vertical lines on the front, so it doesn't look unfashionable, but looks like an "old item."

It has one simple patch pocket on the back, and it has a practical design that closes with a button.

There are suspender buttons on the front and back of the waist, so you can not only adjust it with an adjuster belt, but also hang it up with suspenders.
If you want to make the silhouette of your trousers look more beautiful, we recommend suspenders that stabilize your waist position.

What is essential when talking about this individual is its overall fade, patchwork around the knees, and ``sagging'' condition with tears.

The reinforcing patch, made of a different fabric, has a powerful design that stands out even though it is a repair, and the traces of scuffs, small holes, and tears are still evidence of the hours of labor at the time.
There is a vivid persuasive power here that cannot be expressed in overly formalized vintage pieces.

When incorporating it into your styling, please make these trousers the centerpiece.
Other than that, simplicity is the golden rule.

I can't confirm the size, butI think it corresponds to "M~L" in Japanese size.

Looking at the actual size, I think it's a golden size that fits the Japanese body type, so I think people with a wide range of body types can wear it.

There are signs of use throughout, such as fading, scuffing, fraying, small holes, tears, and repair marks, so if you like this kind of atmosphere, this is the item you'll love.

In recent years, attention to German military items in particular has increased further.
On the other hand, due to historical background, there are very few of them in existence, and the reality is that supply is not keeping up with demand.

It is also a field where there are a certain number of enthusiastic enthusiasts, and there is no doubt that it is a "coveted archive piece" that collectors will find difficult to part with.

This is not something you can buy if you spend money, and we cannot guarantee whether it will be available in the future.

A perfect piece for your wardrobe, as well as a collection item and design source.
I think this is a rare item, both domestically and internationally, so if you've been looking for one or if you like rare items, don't miss this opportunity.
