Estimated 1960s, French Army 'M47 Field Trousers'.
A rare deadstock acquisition.
The French Army's masterwork, the M-47 Field Trousers.
Regarded globally as one of the finest military trousers ever made.
In silhouette, fabric, and construction, it stands apart from other military trousers altogether.
Maison Martin Margiela's decision to have models wear the M-47 inside-out became legendary, marking a turning point that elevated its standing worldwide.
The fact that countless contemporary brands continue to sample this pattern speaks to its enduring appeal—and indeed, its momentum only seems to accelerate.
For those with the conviction to seek the original, we encourage you to experience the M-47 as it was meant to be.
The M-47 exists in two distinct variants: early and late production types.
The fabric and silhouette differ considerably, so we invite you to choose according to your preference.
This example, with a single top button and herringbone twill weave, belongs to the late production type.
The late type is characterized by a cargo silhouette that tapers toward the hem, yielding a refined line free of any heaviness.
Olive is the most common and widely distributed color for the M-47, yet this piece carries a distinctly warmer brown tone—a rare shade sought after by many.
That scarcity is worth noting.
A foundational piece that deserves a place in every wardrobe.
One might argue that Euro-vintage cannot truly be discussed without it. Such is its standing.
Marked size 25.
The fit runs generous at the waist and short in the leg—ideal for those conscious of excess at the midsection.
For those who favor the traditional cargo silhouette worn full, this is equally suited.
Light soiling from storage is visible, though the piece remains in deadstock condition—barely worn, if at all. For those seeking a pristine example, this warrants consideration.
A cornerstone of French vintage.
Whether you've yet to acquire one or seek a second example, this presents an opportunity worth considering.
