WW2 German M40 Field Grey Wool Trousers with Ring - Premium

WW2 German M40 Field Grey Wool Trousers with Ring - Premium

Part of our Premium line of WW2 German uniforms, offering a superior finish and colour of wool as well as cut and finish. All of the small details such as markings on buttons and buckles to material and thread colour come together to set this range apart from other reproductions on the market.

Part of the M40 uniform introduced in 1938, these trousers offer quality woollen construction and attention to detail. A high-waisted design with a mix of stamped dish and smooth plastic buttons, correct clawed buckle on the rear adjustment strap and cotton pocket and waist lining. Used by German troops until the end of the war, these particular M40s have the small metal ring for mounting a pocket watch chain, as opposed to the stitched wool loop style, available here.

There is much discussion among reenactors as to the best material to use in woollen uniforms, from those who prefer a pure wool construction to various blends with polyester and more. For our Premium Uniform range, we have settled on a 70% wool, 30% polyester blend. Made to spec from the start, we use quality wool that hasn't been recycled from another process, before dying to an accurate shade with a polyester blend which matches the weight and feel of the material. With these managed steps and materials we are left with a repeatable quality and finish without the large colour variations between batches sometimes seen in other uniforms. We are confident these uniforms use some of the best commercially produced field grey wool material available.
