Issued British S95 DPM Field Pants
Description
British DPM was inspired by the handpainted WWII-era Dension camouflage pattern worn by British paratroopers and other special units. Postwar the British army moved away from camouflage until the 1960s. DPM was first developed in the early 1960s and first approved for general issue in 1968, making the UK the first NATO country to standardize on a camouflage uniform.
These pants are a favorite here at AP. They're incredibly comfortable due to their soft and light fabric blend. Their breathable fabric makes it possible to wear them in warmer weather.
That isn't where their upsides end, however. These pants come jam-packed with pockets. Two cargo pockets on each leg, two roomy waist pockets and a button closure rear pocket makes them perfect for carrying all your doodads.

Pairs well with
Good pants for warm weather fielding. Comfy, cool and in good condition...
However my issue was that the pair I received had what I'm assuming is food residue crusted into the left cargo pocket. Been through the wash three times consecutively, mostly still there and kinda gross... Otherwise good quality pants for summer, just check your pockets.
Fit great. Super comfortable.
Wish I had bought a 2nd pair
Excellent pants especially for the price. bought one pair for myself and loved them, then bought a second pair for my son and he loves them too. Comfortable for running in as well.
Since I got these they are my favorite pants that I own there was hardened candy in a pocket but it washed out perfectly
Fantastic pants, very comfy indeed. Mine arrived in what appears to be perfect condition. I haven't noticed any tears, stains or missing buttons yet.
As some other reviews mentioned, I ordered a size up (36" waist when i usually wear a 34"). This seams to be good practice when ordering any European surplus as an American. The inseam wasn't listed but I was lucky to receive a 32" inseam which fits me fine. I would still really like to see AP list more measurements of the surplus, so that a bit of the gambling would be taken out of the purchase.
All around, great pants, can't wait to wear them more.
Got them as a random grab bag item, not my size but still a cool piece of gear to get to hold and see, had some Kit Kat wrappers and some other candy wrappers in the pocket.
Great pants. Good quality. Very comfortable. Seem well designed. Glad they aren't only cotton.
Great pair of pants. Wear wasn’t bad and in good condition. Has fun ties at ankles to sinch it near boot or shoe. True to size but check online as this is British sizing. For wankers.
The issued pants I ordered were probably issued to someone who injured themselves on the first day and quit the service. Because mine are like brand new and didn’t come with a funny smell. I dig the exotic pattern!
Good quality and shipping was quick.
First pair arrived missing the top button with a pretty decent tear in the leg, could be repaired so I kept them and ordered a second set. Customer service was awesome helped me with covering the shipping. but now I have the second pair and they are too short so it appears waist size is not the only way these should be measured. They are super comfy but buyer beware you don't know what you're getting with these.
Pants fit well but hard to put on. Only complaint is that it was still tight from the waist even when I bought my own waist size so I do recommend for those who are buying this to buy a waist size more bigger then your original size.
Waist fits perfectly well. However the 34 waist appears to be more of a 34/32 or a 34/30. They run rather short. They’re too short for what I was looking for but they work well for lounge pants. Very comfortable and soft!
Curious About Sizing?
Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.
Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.
Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.
To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit.
This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:
14"-15" PtP = XXS
16-17" PtP = Extra Small
18"-19" PtP = Small
20-21" PtP = Medium
22-23" PtP = Large
24-25" PtP = Extra Large
26-27" PtP = XXL
28-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.
To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.
To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
