gunner501 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Run of the run of the mill British surely? I was wondering why this cut was produced as opposed to the ,,run of the mill double bellows pocket version,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Never seen the lightweight green trousers ("TML's") in desert DPM.........they were generally only made in green and a version in black for MoD Police (no big leg pocket on the latter and later versions of the green)....... These are pre-95 on account of the manufacturers name on the label and definitely issue on account of the MoD contract number........... Can't understand why made when the standard desert trousers of the era were the tropical cut..........surely lightweight enough.....? A bit of a rarity methinks.......:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm going to have to check my kit, I've got a load of pre 95 deserts from my time in Saudi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner501 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks for the responce guys. I spoke to a friend who was in Iraq in 2003 with 3 para and he told me a few guys were issued these . he remembers them moaning about them ! As Steve has pointed out there pre 95 manufacture ,,and thus (could ) be infact realy early ? one thing I,ve noticed is a small offcut of tri color D P M has been used inside .
