These are original Finnish M62 reversible field trousers, issued by the Finnish Defence Forces as part of Finland’s first standardized camouflage uniform system introduced in the early 1960s.
Designed for use in harsh Nordic environments, the M62 trousers feature a fully reversible construction. One side uses the distinctive M62 woodland camouflage, optimized for Finnish forests, while the reverse side is a muted snow camouflage intended for winter and mixed snow terrain. Rather than stark white, the snow side uses off-white and pale grey tones to blend naturally into shadowed snow, brush, and overcast conditions.
Construction is heavy-duty and utilitarian, reflecting Finland’s doctrine of long service life and repairability. These trousers feature:
Heavy cotton canvas fabric
Button fly
Elasticated waist for fit over layers
Cargo pockets accessible on both sides
Reinforced knees
Internal seams and stitching designed to withstand cold-weather field use
Visible field repairs and reinforcement stitching are present, particularly on the snow side, and are typical of issued Finnish gear. These repairs add authenticity and confirm genuine service use rather than post-service surplus wear.
Paired with an M62 jacket, these trousers complete a historically accurate Cold War Finnish field uniform that is increasingly hard to find in original, unmodified condition.
