Russia, Soviet Union. A Pair of KZS Berezka Camouflage Mesh Trousers

(КЗС Костюм Защитный Сетчатый), fabricated in the characteristic leno-woven mesh synthetic fabric displaying the greenish yellow-on-green Berezka camouflage pattern, featuring an elasticized waistband with original pass-through side-slit pocket openings, constructed with straight legs in the standard over-garment cut intended to be worn atop the field uniform, measuring approximately 93 cm in overall length and sized for a 34-inch waist, the material retaining its structural stability with only minor wear from service use and the colours remaining well preserved, in very fine condition.

Footnote: Introduced in the 1960s for reconnaissance, engineer, sapper, and chemical-defence troops, the KZS oversuit became a distinctive component of Soviet concealment doctrine, employing a breathable mesh fabric designed to reduce heat retention and disrupt visual detection; the Berezka pattern, one of the most recognizable Soviet camouflage designs, saw extensive use throughout the 1970s and 1980s across specialist formations and border guard units of the Soviet Armed Forces.
