French Army Trouser - BlackFrom The Maker If you loved the M 47 Cargo Pant, but aren't a big fan of cargos this trouser is a perfect alternative option. This wide fit trouser is based on the famous French Military chino. It is most noticeable in its shallow pleating and back flap pockets. The fit is truly built for guys looking for anything but skinny. They're roomy, they're comfy, and they're period correct. The other way they vary from the cargo is in the button fly front.
