Germany, Heer. A Mint Pair of M40 Trousers

(Heer Tuchhose M40). An exceptionally well-preserved pair of Heer M40 trousers, constructed of field-grey wool. Eight feinzink buttons are distributed around the waistband, while a French fly closes with five hidden buttons of identical construction. A single front pocket is set into the upper left leg and opens with a button and vertical slash, while a single back pocket is set into the upper right and opens with a horizontal slash and button. Two integral straps set into the back fasten closed with a functional metal buckle. The interior features a partial white cotton liner set throughout the waist, which also provides the interior compartments for the pockets. Size marks are stamped onto the right side of the waist in black ink. Otherwise unmarked, the trousers measure approximately 44 cm across the waist, with an inseam of 34 cm, and an overall length of 106 cm when folded on a flat surface. Demonstrating no evident damage or wear, these early wartime trousers remain in a near mint condition.
