The eve of a masterpiece, the origin of a masterpiece.
The M-1951 Field Pants, which were officially adopted by the U.S. Army in the early 1950s, are now in stock.
Developed to cope with operations in cold regions such as the Korean War, these pants are considered the "first completed model" in the lineage that would later lead to the M-65.
This item is an actual pair of pants made in 1952 (Fulton Trouser Co., Inc.)**. Designed as shell pants, they are overpants with a liner inside. Nevertheless, the silhouette is modern and well balanced when worn alone. They are equipped with side cargo pockets, hip pockets with flaps, drawcords at the hems, and other royal details of military pants rich in functional beauty.
Particularly noteworthy is that the prototype of the M-65 pants was already completed at this point, including the adjuster tabs on the sides of the waist, button fly specification, reinforced cargo pockets, etc. When the M-51 and M-65 are compared side by side, the evolutionary flow and design continuity can be seen, which is important for enjoying the historical context of military design. This item is also important to enjoy the historical context of military design.
The condition is very good considering its age, withfading and signs of use throughout, but no noticeable stains or tears. The stamped notation is worn, but the year of manufacture and manufacturer can be read from the tag. The realistic traces of actual use in the field make these pants highly valuable as a pair with a certain atmosphere.
With the rise in popularity of the M-65 pants in recent years, the M-51, its predecessor, has also been re-evaluated, and nowadays, among "connoisseurs," this type of pants is sometimes regarded as more highly valued. The heavy fabric, historical background, and finished design make these pants a perfect match. This pair of pants is not just a pair of military pants. It is the quintessence of real vintage with history and functional beauty.
