Trousers, Paratrooper, Field, M-1943, Rigger-modified, Waist 32

Genuine WWII US OD 7 cotton sateen field trousers, introduced in August 1943. Early production with pockets and lining in HBT cloth. Two buttoned tabs enable the waist to be tightened. Similar tabs at the ankle gather the trouser legs to tuck them in the buckle boots.

These trousers have been rigger-modified by the addition of two impregnated M-1942 type cargo pockets and two thigh straps.

Complete with all buttons, waist 32.

The pockets were added after the war.
