German M40 Uniform Pants – Wool Pants in Retro Style, Perfect for Reenactment and Bushcraft

Replica of the classic German M40 uniform pants, manufactured by Mil-Tec as a carefully recreated version of the trousers worn by the Wehrmacht from 1940 onward. This model is based on the original's typical silhouette: high waist, straight cut, button fly, and several practical pockets. The pants are made of a wool blend reminiscent of the fabric used in the originals, with cotton lining inside for increased comfort. The material provides both warmth and durability, making the pants as useful in the field as for everyday use. Many who purchase these pants use them not only for historical reenactment or film production—they are also popular in bushcraft and outdoor activities. The timeless design makes them perfectly suitable for everyday use if you want functional pants in a classic military style. Pair with suspenders for an authentic 1940s look.
