French Army F2 Shorts
These are French Army F2 shorts in CCE camouflage, the woodland pattern (Centre Europe) used across French forces for decades. The short cut keeps your legs cool in warm weather, and the thigh cargo pockets hold the things you would otherwise stuff into a jacket. They suit hikers, range-goers, collectors of French kit and anyone who wants a pair of camo shorts built to a military specification.
Features
- CCE Camouflage Pattern — A four-color woodland print of tan, brown, olive green and black designed for European forest and field terrain.
- Cotton And Polyester Blend — Cotton keeps the fabric breathable against the skin, while polyester adds strength and helps it dry faster.
- Flapped Cargo Pockets — Two large pockets on the outer thighs close with snap-fastened flaps, so wallets, phones and keys stay put when you move.
- Slanted Front Pockets — Angled hand pockets at the hips are easy to reach whether you are standing or seated.
- Belt-Looped Waistband — Wide belt loops take a standard trouser belt or a heavier tactical belt.
- Buttoned Waist And Fly — The waistband fastens with a button above a covered fly placket, a simple closure that is easy to repair in the field.
- Knee-Length Cut — The legs finish around the knee, giving room to move without the bulk of full-length trousers.
- Genuine French Army Issue — These are original French military shorts, not a commercial copy of the design.
French Issue Spec
The F2 name comes from the French Army's F2 combat uniform, and these shorts share its CCE print and pocket layout. The cotton and polyester fabric, snap-closed cargo pockets and olive hardware follow the original military specification. For reenactors and collectors that provenance matters, and for everyday wear it means a pair of shorts made to the standard a national army set for its own troops.

Great shorts for the priceBought these for hiking and yard work and they are super tough. The camo looks just like the pics and the material feels heavy duty. Really happy with them.

Genuine CCE Surplus Done RightBeen hunting down authentic French F2 kit for a while now and these shorts do not disappoint. The CCE woodland pattern is noticeably different from US M81 woodland the color saturation is a bit more olive-dominant and the pattern repeats are tighter, which matters if you're building a proper French Army impression or just want something less common than the sea of M81 stuff at every range. Cotton/poly blend feels sturdy without being stiff, and the zippered fly plus cargo pockets are clearly built to a European military spec, not some cheapo civilian knock-off.

Proper French surplusThese are actual military shorts, not fashion. Heavy fabric, real cargo pockets, adjustable waist. The CCE pattern is weirdly effective in my backyard green bushes, brown mulch, grey deck, I blend in standing still. Not that I need to, but it's funny. Wore them to Home Depot, got asked if I was "in the service" three times. Explained they're French surplus, got blank looks. Whatever. They're comfortable, pockets hold everything, fabric breathes in heat. Mine were clearly issued, some fading, one button replaced with a different color. Adds character. Washed them twice, softened up, still going strong. The adjustable waist let me wear them with or without a belt, handy for post-burger expansion.

Perfect for spring and summer in FL.I own several pieces of French military surplus and the quality is always impressive but these F2 shorts might be my favorite piece yet. The CCE woodland camo is the pattern the French Army has used for decades and it looks fantastic in person with rich greens and browns that photograph really well too. The construction is what you would expect from European military manufacturing with tight stitching reinforced stress points and quality hardware on the snaps and zipper. The two front pockets are standard depth but the two snap closed hip pockets are extra deep which is a smart design choice for soldiers who need to secure items during movement. I wore them to a barbecue last weekend and got nothing but compliments. At 35 dollars for authentic made in France military shorts in virtually unused condition this is an easy purchase for anyone who appreciates quality gear with real military heritage.
