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 layering
Reversible cargo pockets
Reinforced knee panels
Pass-through pocket openings
 
This pair shows authentic service wear, including visible field repairs on the snow camouflage side, consistent with issued Finnish surplus. Repairs appear period-correct and reinforce the garment rather than compromise function.
 
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.
