Spanish Army Base Layer Pants

Spanish Army Base Layer

These are Spanish Army issue base layer pants, the long johns soldiers wear under their field trousers for an extra layer of warmth. They are cut from olive drab cotton knit with an elastic waist and ribbed ankle cuffs, so they sit close to the leg and stay in place under boots. Wear them in camp, on cold-weather hunts and range days, as sleepwear in the field, or add them to a Spanish Army kit collection.

Features

• Cotton Knit Fabric — Soft, stretchy cotton jersey sits comfortably against the skin and breathes well at rest and in moderate cold.
• Olive Drab Color — The muted military olive green, often shortened to OD green, matches standard field clothing and won't stand out outdoors.
• Wide Elastic Waistband — A broad fabric-covered elastic band holds the pants up without a belt and lies flat under trousers.
• Ribbed Ankle Cuffs — Knit cuffs grip the ankle so the legs don't ride up inside boots or bunch at the calf.
• Close Tapered Fit — The slim leg narrows toward the ankle, so the pants fit under uniform or hunting trousers without adding bulk.
• Base Layer Design — Built as the first layer worn next to the skin, holding body warmth beneath your outer clothing.
• Genuine Spanish Army Issue — Originally issued government clothing from Spain's army, the real item rather than a commercial copy.

Issued Kit, Made to Spec

Military base layers are made to the army's own requirements, which means simple, durable construction and a plain uniform color. Cotton is comfortable and easy to care for, and it works best for camp wear, sleeping and steady cold. For hard exertion in wet weather, pair it with a faster-drying outer layer. For reenactors and collectors, these pants also fill out a correct Spanish Army clothing set from the skin out.
