Daguet trousers!!

Hi Guys.

I recently got these off ebay for an absolute bargain, they were described as Kuwaiti trousers, ( good job I know my cammo patterns) I assumed they were going to be F2 HBT pattern, but was most surprised to discover that they were GULF WAR / Daguet pattern,dated 1990

Nice one sir ! Me likey lots !

Merci Monsieur , as mentioned I got these on the basis of a poor description, I've been after a decent pair of these for years now, so mission accomplished on these, that's another thing I can tick off on my wish list.

Thanks for your compliment Dave

You have teh rest of the uniform already or are you only a trouser collector ?

Hi Dave, yeah these trousers have now completed my Gulf War Daguet collection, I have the period Jacket, helmet cover, ( and lid obviously),so these are the jewel on the crown, as far as I'm concerned.

I bought a Jacket from France, and a cover, but the trousers over there are pretty scarce, and if available are bloody expensive!!!

So these to me are just fantastic

Always nice to complete a set isn't it ? Congrats !

Glad to see you completed your daguet set, Gary! Such a neat pattern too.

Hi Ben, good to hear from you Mate, thanks for the comments too, It is a satisfying feeling to have these in "Easy's Daguet collection", all I need now is a set of period boots..where will it end

If you mean black 'Ranger' boots, i've seen lots of them on French surplus dealer sites on the 'net.

Yeah Dave that's the ones, the one's I need have double buckles on the top of the boots.

Could you personally recommend a decent French surplus dealer?

Got another pair recently directly from France, these were part of a large lot of clothing, which was reportedly worn by an ex-legionnaire who had retired....well I bought a lot of clothing not the story,but who knows.
