Description
This is a set of Olive Green 108 Wool Trousers that were used in the US Army from 1951 to the 1970?s. The pants are made of a wool and nylon blend and were intended for wear under the 1951 pattern cold weather outer layers that were made of cotton.

Features:
- 1951 Wool OG 108 Field Uniforms – During the Korean War the US Army developed the OG 108 wool/nylon field uniform to replace the previous versions of the cold weather wool uniform, though it would not see wide spread use till after the war. This new uniform was not intended as a stand alone uniform but due to its overall appearance some commanders authorized it as a winter uniform. The uniform was not built for field use as an outer layer as the wool material would not keep its insulating features when overly dirty or stretched out. Intended use was as a layer under the M1951 trouser shells and jacket.
- Zippered Pants – Pants crotch is zippered.
- Pants Back Pocket – Has pockets on the seat of the pants.
