British Desert DPM Combat Pants

Desert DPM Combat Trousers

These are British Army combat pants in Desert DPM, the arid-climate version of the Disruptive Pattern Material camouflage that British forces wore in the Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan. They are cut as practical field trousers, with roomy thigh cargo pockets and a pleated front that leaves space to move. Reenactors building a British desert kit, collectors of issued camouflage and anyone who wants hard-wearing field pants in a recognizable pattern will all find a use for them.

Features

• Genuine British Army Issue — These were made for British service, not for the commercial market, so the pattern and cut match what troops were issued.
• Desert DPM Camouflage — DPM (Disruptive Pattern Material) is the British Army's camouflage, and this desert version prints irregular light brown shapes over a pale sand base.
• Twin Thigh Cargo Pockets — A large pocket sits on the outside of each thigh, with a flap over the top to keep the contents in place.
• Pleated Front — Folded pleats at the waist give extra room through the hips and thighs when you kneel, crouch or climb.
• Belt Loops — Loops around the waistband take a trouser belt or a field belt.
• Gathered Ankle Hems — The cuffs draw in at the ankle, so the legs sit neatly over boot tops.
• Field Trouser Cut — The straight, generous military cut is built to wear over long days outdoors and leaves room for layers underneath.

British Army Issue

Desert DPM was the British Army's standard camouflage for hot, dry theaters until Multi-Terrain Pattern replaced it. Because it was issued for active service, these trousers are built to a working military standard and are the authentic pattern that reproductions copy. They pair naturally with a Desert DPM shirt or smock for a complete British desert uniform.
