French F2 pants neatly cut into comfy shorts. A brilliant solution for hot summer days. Either unused or so little used that even gendarmes cannot detect it. Very affordable, waterproof, and a camo pattern fit for fashion icons. What more can you wish for? A winning lottery ticket of course. But this is damn close.

Features

The French CCE camouflage pattern is pretty familiar even on the streets because many fashion houses have been using it on their expensive creations. Here you have the same stuff at a lot more sensible price. Well, actually much better stuff because these won’t come with the self-destruct button that rips them into shreds just before the next season.

As you can see in the pics, these are delightfully ordinary cargo shorts without any mind-tormenting oddities. They have side pockets and cargo pockets with snap fasteners that will fit your and other people’s property. There are no back pockets because the only thing you should have in them is your spouse’s hand. And they can fondle your ass without pockets as well. If you put a wallet in one, you can say goodbye to it. The belt loops can fit any belt up to c. 3.5 cm (1.4”) wide. The fly has a zipper & a button.

Materials and care

The fabric is thick and sturdy like it should be, yet it feels quite nice on your skin. Like a soft promising whisper on a summer night. There is no information on the material but most likely these are polycotton of some unknown percentage. Wash at 60 degrees Celsius (140 F).

Sizing

The care label still has the NATO size, which is the user height & waist in centimeters. Because your height means jack crap here since these have been shortened, we only put the waist circumference in centimeters and the inches in brackets. You can use those NATO numbers for playing the lottery or something. In this batch, the size options are somewhat limited. But at least we got those Manly Sizes^™ this time that many folks like.

Condition

French military surplus. In such a good condition that either these haven’t been used at all or they have been used indoors without any heavy hazing involved. These probably haven’t even seen the officer’s club pool bar because there are no drink stains. Clean, intact, and really nice. Just like you.
