Estimated 1960s French Army M47 Field Trousers.
A rare size arrives in deadstock condition.
French Army's finest achievement — the M-47 Field Trousers.
Among military trousers worldwide, this piece is regarded as a masterwork.
In silhouette, fabric, and construction, it stands apart from other military trousers entirely.
Maison Margiela's decision to reverse the M-47 and have it worn on the runway became legendary, serving as a turning point that brought international recognition to this piece.
The fact that countless brands continue to reference it today speaks to an appreciation that shows no sign of waning—if anything, it accelerates.
For those with the conviction to seek the original vintage piece, we encourage you to experience the authentic M-47.
The M-47 exists in two distinct variations: early and late production types.
Since fabric and silhouette differ notably between them, choose the one that resonates with you.
This example features a single top button and herringbone twill weave, placing it within the late production category.
The late-type silhouette tapers toward the hem as a cargo trouser, achieving a clean line without heaviness.
An essential foundation piece—one you should own.
To discuss European vintage without the M-47 feels incomplete. It remains an absolute standard.
Size 21—a rare marking that many seek.
Both waist and length align with Japanese proportions, making this a golden size suited to a range of builds and in high demand.
Deadstock condition ensures a pristine piece for those seeking impeccable examples.
A cornerstone of French vintage.
Smaller sizes in good condition grow scarcer and more valuable with each passing year. If you have been searching, this warrants consideration.
