Circa 1960s, a French Military M52 chino trouser.
A special acquisition.
These divide broadly into early and late production types; this example is a late-period piece.
The back pockets bear the flapped closure characteristic of the later iteration.
Size 11—a rare specimen, seldom encountered in the market.
Small pieces in both waist and inseam have become increasingly scarce.
Among these, size 11 represents something of a golden measure, particularly sought after by Japanese collectors. It appears less frequently than the M47, and the M52 is rarer still.
The silhouette speaks of two pleats at the waist, affording fullness through the hip, then tapering subtly toward a straight, unbroken fall to the hem. The cotton twill carries a patina that improves with wear—this is where vintage reveals its particular character.
Despite its width, the proportions remain refined and restrained. There is an understated elegance here, and a versatility that invites wearing. It settles into casual dress as readily as formal; this durability of purpose accounts for its enduring appeal.
A foundational piece. One to keep always close. One to gather multiples of, as occasions and mood demand.
Soiling is present, though nothing that compromises wear. The garment remains serviceable.
This is not something one simply purchases. Future availability cannot be assured.
Small sizes in good condition diminish yearly and command rising value. If you are seeking this piece, the moment warrants consideration.
