These pants were purchased as deadstock, hemmed, and washed once. Even petite individuals can wear them with a belt without needing to roll them up. There is some rust on the belt and eyelets, but this was present upon purchase. Given the age of these pants, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about this condition. Please refer to the images for details.


The following is a product description from WAIPER:

These cargo pants were used by the Swedish Civil Defence (Civilforsvar), a vital part of Sweden's defense.

While maintaining the design of the M-59, adopted by the military from the 1960s to the 1980s, these pants were made for civilians with a light blue color. The often-missing bottom belt detail is intact in this used item.

The waist is loose, tapering towards the hem for a trendy, flattering silhouette. The bottom width is adjustable with a belt, making them versatile with boots, sneakers, and loafers. They feature functional flap pockets on the sides, back, and cargo pockets, offering ample storage. Reinforcements are added to both knees for durability.

These are Swedish military surplus items, including the M-90 parka, which are extremely popular recently. Made from heavy cotton twill, they will only improve with age and wear, making them a long-lasting item.
