East German Grey Breeches
These East German Grey Breeches are authentic NVA-issue uniform trousers from the Cold War-era Nationale Volksarmee. Cut in the traditional breeches style with a full thigh, tapered lower leg, and button-cuff ankles, they're built from a wool-blend upper with a smooth polyamide lining for warmth and wind resistance. Period-correct details include a button fly, button waist, pleated front, side hand pockets, and interior suspender buttons. A solid pick for military collectors, DDR and WWII-style reenactors, equestrians, and anyone who wants a hard-wearing pair of wool trousers with genuine Cold War provenance.

Great quality and fitThese East German Army Grey Breeches are made really well. The material is thick and durable. They fit great too, true to size. For only being 10 dollars they are a steal! Highly recommend.

Sized for SovietsThey were definitely made for short, skinny people. At about 6' and 210, the size Large that I got seems like the waist would be correct, but I can't tell since I can't even fit my calves through the pant legs. If I were able to, it looks like they'd be too short. Like other reviewers mentioned, I'm gonna see about getting them tailored, gifting them to someone smaller, or just keeping them for the collection.
Great condition, no damage, cool, iconic, great price.
Calf muscles not allowed.

Great PantsToo small for me (I wear Size 33 pants - ordered M48-34") so I am gave it to my wife. She said the extra "slaps" make her butt looks big, so we will have it altered. Wish it was larger for me. The sizing option is incorrect and why I am giving 3 stars for "Value". The quality is military grade. M48 is more like 30".

German ExcellenceThese breeches are an excellent value. Their condition is truly exceptional; I got my first pair from another provider and was VERY used. I have a 36in waist so I ordered an SG52 (38 in wast) and they would barely close on me. Hope that the material can stretch some! If you have big calves, be willing to do some alterations; even then would be well worth it.

Good flappy pants.They're riding breeches, so they have the thigh flaps jutting out like elephant ears; in this case our defunct DDR designers basically took a nice pair of pleated wool slacks and added some curves to the outside seams. They are the color of the photograph, which gives new meaning to the description of "grey." Why one would need them is unclear to me - why one would want them is obvious. No need for a CCW when wearing riding breeches, as everyone will steer clear of you. European sizing is odd, and the Medium turns out to be a 32" waist with a pre-buttoned adjustment to 34." The length is also 32," give or take a bit. The bottoms of the legs button close in, and they're cut tight below the knee. The rear pocket has a flap and button to keep one's wallet secure. Like most surplus items, this needs to be washed as soon as it's out of the shipping box. It comes with a special smell that is unlike normal military surplus - maybe it was stored with some sort of insecticide or possibly just picked up the stench of failed social/economic/political systems. The laundry markings are inscrutable, so I set the washer on medium/cold heat and it went through without resizing it to 4T.
