Le Pigeon Voyageur French Military M-47 Field Trousers, circa 1950s.
A rare deadstock acquisition.
The French military's finest achievement: the M-47 Field Trousers.
This particular piece is regarded worldwide as a masterwork among military trousers.
In silhouette, fabric, and construction, it stands apart from other military trousers in every measure.
It was Maison Margiela's decision to reverse the M-47 and have a model wear it that became a seminal moment. That gesture sparked global recognition, and the trousers have since maintained an elevated status.
Even today, numerous brands continue to reference the M-47. Its appeal shows no sign of waning; if anything, it continues to gain momentum.
For those with a particular regard for authenticity—who insist on the original vintage piece—we urge you to experience the genuine M-47.
The M-47 exists in two distinct iterations: early production and late production. The fabrication and silhouette differ considerably between them.
Choose the version that speaks to you.
This specimen features two top buttons and cotton twill weaving—marking it as early production.
Rather than the more commonly encountered army variant, this is the Air Force version with a more pronounced green tone, making it notably scarce. And to find it bearing the Le Pigeon Voyageur label—such pieces are virtually nonexistent.
The early production silhouette is characterised by its straight cut, lending it a masculine, workmanlike bearing that translates effortlessly into casual wear.
Size: 84XL.
A foundational piece—one that should be part of any collection. Without it, one cannot truly speak of European vintage.
It is the definitive article, proven and enduring.
The waist and length run generous, suitable for larger frames with ease.
It is equally recommended for those who prefer to wear cargo trousers with room and proportion.
Being deadstock, the condition is beyond reproach. Ideal for those seeking an unmarred piece.
If you have been searching for this, the opportunity is before you.
