A beautiful pair of battle pants perfect for aggressively asserting your nonalignment or making new friends in resource-rich lands. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Belgian Paratrooper pants excel in breathability and a lightweight feel, the temperate variant excels in Belgian neutrality. Not too cold, not too hot. Don't invade me and I won't do anything. Maybe I make an alliance with your kingdom; maybe I take some of your stuff... These are the pants of a radical centrist. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the paratrooper pants, these are less like KAZ pants and closer to your typical midweight pair of cargo pants. Sadly, the super sick quad button pockets were deleted. Austerity was imposed in the late 90s as Belgium had tried (and would fail) to bring Flemish roads up to a first-world standard. As a result, four buttons became one. One of the cargo pockets was also deleted in an effort to further reduce cost. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic Belgian surplus \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnissued condition \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive total pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne cargo pocket \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eButton-up front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlag patch guaranteed\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Camo: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most beloved camouflage patterns on the surplus market, nothing hits quite like Belgian Jigsaw. Initially introduced in 1956, the pattern was the nation's first indigenous camouflage design. Niche as such a bold camouflage may seem, it went on to be used for 66 years across multiple variants. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany mistakenly believe the flamboyant mix of russet, yellow, green, black, and white was intended specifically for the fall season. A common misconception often attributed to other patterns like Taz 57: the Belgians weren't necessarily trying to obscure a soldier in any one specific environment; the goal was to break up a person's outline by confusing the eye. An interesting approach. Given the nation's geography and history, it's safe to say it was an experiment with no real stakes. While the pattern was initially issued to elite units only, later efforts to standardize Belgium's armed forces made Jigsaw standard issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistinguishing patterns can be difficult, especially when accounting for material differences and fading. Most agree there are generally four types of Jigsaw; all styles used the same set of abstract shapes and (for the most part) colors throughout their respective runs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese boast the second iteration of Jigsaw; darker than the original m\/56 pattern. This variation was in issue from the 1970s until the 1990s. Expect slightly darker colors, with the iconic white accents present. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","offers":[{"title":"28W \/ Short","offer_id":67283656409329,"sku":"67283656409329","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"28W \/ Regular","offer_id":67283656442097,"sku":"67283656442097","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28W \/ Long","offer_id":67283656474865,"sku":"67283656474865","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"30W \/ Short","offer_id":67283656507633,"sku":"67283656507633","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"30W \/ Regular","offer_id":67283656540401,"sku":"67283656540401","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"30W \/ Long","offer_id":67283656573169,"sku":"67283656573169","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"32W \/ Short","offer_id":67283656605937,"sku":"67283656605937","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"32W \/ Regular","offer_id":67283656638705,"sku":"67283656638705","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"32W \/ Long","offer_id":67283656671473,"sku":"67283656671473","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"34W \/ Short","offer_id":67283656704241,"sku":"67283656704241","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"34W \/ Regular","offer_id":67283656737009,"sku":"67283656737009","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"34W \/ Long","offer_id":67283656769777,"sku":"67283656769777","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"36W \/ Short","offer_id":67283656802545,"sku":"67283656802545","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"36W \/ Regular","offer_id":67283656835313,"sku":"67283656835313","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36W \/ Long","offer_id":67283656868081,"sku":"67283656868081","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"38W \/ Short","offer_id":67283656900849,"sku":"67283656900849","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"38W \/ Regular","offer_id":67283656933617,"sku":"67283656933617","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"38W \/ Long","offer_id":67283656966385,"sku":"67283656966385","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40W \/ Short","offer_id":67283656999153,"sku":"67283656999153","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"40W \/ Regular","offer_id":67283657031921,"sku":"67283657031921","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"40W \/ Long","offer_id":67283657064689,"sku":"67283657064689","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"42W \/ Short","offer_id":67283657097457,"sku":"67283657097457","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"42W \/ Regular","offer_id":67283657130225,"sku":"67283657130225","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"42W \/ Long","offer_id":67283657162993,"sku":"67283657162993","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"44W \/ Short","offer_id":67283657195761,"sku":"67283657195761","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"44W \/ Regular","offer_id":67283657228529,"sku":"67283657228529","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"44W \/ Long","offer_id":67283657261297,"sku":"67283657261297","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/Belgian_Temperate_Field_Pants_Front_Actual.jpg?v=1792672022","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/unissued-belgian-temperate-field-pants","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
