Desert DPM Lightweight Trousers SL33a/3537

Contract Number of SL33a/3537

Manufactured by J.Compton Sons and Webb.


The year of manufacture is unknown because no product with a year of manufacture was found for the SL33a contract.

Green lightweight trousers from the same SL33a/3537 contract exist.

The manufacturer was also the same, J.Compton Sons and Webb.





Zip by Opti.







Waist adjustment is with a buckle.
It's not a tab that closes with a button.

The design is the same as the green lightweight trousers.
Is it a product from before the Gulf War?
Is it a post-Gulf War product?

Certainly different having the exact design and layout of the olive lightweight trousers, I've never come across anything like that before.

Perhaps a trial item or maybe a rush production for Granby on an existing contract?

thank you for your reply.
It's listed in the "Gulf War 1 Identification Guide to Gulf War 1 Militaria" on this forum and I've been looking for it for a long time and finally got it.


From your reply, I understand that these are trousers that are in short supply, so I am satisfied.
