1950s French Army M-52 Chinos.
Genuine vintage item.

In near deadstock condition, with minor stains from storage, but no damage that affects wear. Overall in good condition.

Chalk-like markings are visible in several places.
Numbers and Roman letters are faintly remaining, presumed to have been made during storage and management.
These marks remain like sunburn, but can be enjoyed as part of the unique vintage aesthetic.

This is a highly sought-after piece, featuring details such as single pleats, a gusseted crotch, and welted pockets.

Furthermore, the most distinctive feature of this particular pair, despite being a later model, is the folded seam construction on the outseam, a detail typically found only on older models.

Unlike the more commonly seen double-stitch construction, this design features a structure where the seam allowance is enclosed within.
While appearing as a minimalist single stitch on the outside, it is a more meticulous and durable finish in terms of sewing.

These are rarely found in circulation and are a detail that one might not encounter unless specifically searching for M-52s.
Despite its simple exterior, this pair hides effort on the inside.

Among the highly sought-after pieces, this one stands out for its sewing construction.
Recommended for those who prioritize details.

Recommended as a first pair or as an upgrade for those who already own them.

We hope to pass this on to someone who understands vintage items.
