Swedish Snow Suit Pants, Surplus

The Swedish snow uniform trousers are as simple as they get and almost white too! The models vary a bit, but all are simple snow whites. We got some of these after a long wait!

The trousers have a drawcord waist with "false" pockets on the sides and button adjustment at the cuffs. The fabric is densely woven cotton.

Now, one notable thing about these is the colour. Most armies recognize snow as being pearly white. The Swedes decided to make their snow suits grayish or yellowish. We have no idea why. However, these still work just fine, don't be fooled.

Size system

Sizes in EU system with the rough "easy" size in the brackets.

In principle these come in different sizes, but in reality they don't differ much from each other, and there's even some size variations in each size number. Even the smallest size has at least 110 cm waist circumference, and of course adjustable downwards a lot with the provided drawcords. Lengthwise these are best suited for some 170-180 cm tall people, but we leave it up to the wearer if it makes any difference whatsoever.

Condition

Used, but in serviceable condition. Expect some stains, repairs and occasionally a missing button.

Pro tip! The cotton on these is thin yet pretty tightly woven. This means these work as poor man's Windproof Trousers! Additionally you can easily dye them with the shade of your choice.
