Swiss Army Alpenflage Shorts

The Swiss have created a robust and feature-filled piece of clothing with these Alpenflage shorts. A 3/4 length allows the knees to still be protected with the double reinforced fabric. The alpenflage pattern (officially TAS 83) is a distinctly Swiss camouflage that was rather oddly referred to as Vierfruchtpyama (four fruit pajamas) by troops. These were most likely manufactured in the 80's.

Constructed out of a rugged poly/cotton blend on a mid-weight weave. Combined with the reinforced knees (yes, reinforced knees on a pair of shorts), these are some tough shorts. A thick waist band with suspender clips allows for a comfortable and secure fit. Two large cargo pockets, two rear pockets, and two slash pockets offer all the storage an outdoors man could want.

Colour tones may vary slightly.
