WH (Heer) M40 Trousers 'E.Reitz'

WH (Heer) M40 straight legged combat field pants (M40 Hose für Mannschaften). Originally the long pants were produced in stone grey fabric until 1940 when regulations dictated that newly produced long pants be constructed in field-grey fabric. The trousers are made of the standard Wehrmacht field-grey wool. The trousers have two, diagonally angled, front pockets and a small watch pocket. A strap and metal buckle is sewn on the back for tightening. The trousers are made in occupied Belgium by the company 'E.Reitz'. The trousers are in very good condition showing only minimal traces of usage and storage, see photos. Original Wehrmacht trousers are very hard to find. Nice original pair of M40 trousers in very good condition!
