Developed during the Korean War, the M-1951 Field Trousers were designed for layering in cold climates. Made of a durable cotton sateen, these trousers are loose fitting with the original intention of being worn over wool trousers in colder temps, and by itself in warmer ones. Buzz Rickson has faithfully reproduced the M-1951 Trousers down to the details such as the waist loops, metal waistband tabs, cargo pockets and straps, and cuff closures.
