This reproduction is made in a heavy wool blend in field-gray shade, lined with cotton for increased comfort. The trousers have a high waist, button fly, and classic pocket design with two angled side pockets and a back pocket with a flap. Adjustable strap in the back and belt loops. The fit is straight and historically accurate. In addition to its use in reenactment and film production, the M43 trousers have also become popular among bushcraft practitioners, outdoor enthusiasts, and everyday users who appreciate the retro-inspired cut. It is recommended to combine with suspenders to complete the 1940s style.

The trousers were manufactured in various shades of field gray and worn by soldiers on all fronts. Today, the M43 trousers are a popular part of the uniform for reenactment, but also an appreciated garment within bushcraft and everyday use - both for its practical functions and stylistic expression.
