Authentic vintage Swiss Army cargo pants in the iconic Alpenflage (TAZ 83) camouflage pattern, known for its distinctive mix of red, green, brown, and black tones. This bold camouflage pattern was widely used by the Swiss military from the late 1950s through the 1980s and has become highly collectible among military surplus enthusiasts and vintage streetwear collectors.
These trousers are built from durable cotton twill and feature a highly functional military design with multiple cargo pockets, metal snap closures, adjustable waist buckles, and detachable suspenders for a secure fit in the field. The pants also feature water-resistant coated thigh panels, designed to protect soldiers while kneeling or operating equipment in wet alpine environments. Additional details include lower leg drawcords and snap-adjustable sections along the legs for versatility and fit.
The interior Swiss military tag shows 50–76 sizing, which corresponds closely to the measured fit of approximately 38 inch waist with a 30 inch inseam.
Condition: Good vintage condition with normal wear consistent with age and military use. Hardware, pockets, and suspenders are present. The coated knee panels show typical creasing from use.
