These are balloon pants issued to the Zouave infantry, a French infantry unit formed in 1831 primarily of Algerians and Tunisians. This pair appears to be from around the 1940s-50s, judging by the fabric and buttons. They are based on the pants worn by the Zouave soldiers of the French Foreign Legion, a unit known for its distinctive style. The pants feature a unique balloon shape with a voluminous overall form, cinched at the waist and hem with tucks. The design is exceptionally timeless. They can be worn as is, or layered with an inner layer for all-season wear. You'll love how the texture of these pants develops with each wear. Unused deadstock, washed once. Wear them as is, or shrink them in the dryer – the choice is yours. Enjoy the freedom and wear them for a long time. Waist: 37cm Inseam: 68cm Total Length: 102cm Thigh Width: 45cm Hem Width: 11cm
