These are authentic U.S. military issue BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) pants in the iconic 6-color desert camouflage pattern, famously known as "chocolate chip" camo due to its unique spotted appearance. Originally introduced in the early 1980s, this pattern was widely used during Operation Desert Storm and remains a favorite among collectors and desert environment enthusiasts.
Constructed from a durable cotton/nylon blend, these trousers were designed for harsh desert conditions, providing breathability and resilience. This is genuine surplus gear—expect quality construction and a rugged, broken-in look that reflects its service-ready origins.
