Do you want to play a game? As long as that game isn't getting colonized by Belgium in the Congo.
These pants are a simple and familiar construction to most workwear and military pants of the cold war, but the real story lies in its crazy camo pattern...
Belgian Jigsaw has a much tamer history than the rest of Belgium, originally developed in 1956, the pattern consists of rusty earth, "Bottle" green and khaki green elements amidst smaller, black and white shapes. Originally intended for use in Europe it also worked suspiciously well in the Congo. There were 4 generations of "Jigsaw" issued over it's 66 year reign, with minor pattern changes and improvements in fabrics, with the final jigsaw pattern seeing the removal of the bits of white prevalent in previous patterns.
Our shipment of Belgian M90 Field Pants mainly consists of the 2nd generation jigsaw pattern, which was printed on heavyweight cotton for enhanced durability. The field pants feature an internal drawstring on the waist and drawstrings on the legs for keeping out the elements. The 6 pockets ensure ample carrying capacity whether your rucking though the Congo, or debating whether to violate Germany's neutrality for a change.
Specs
Condition
Field Pants are in great condition, with no tears, cuts, or holes. All hardware is intact, and functional. May exhibit minor signs of use, or variations to the jigsaw pattern shown.
Sizing
For waist size, pants fit true to size, and we'd recommend going for your usual US size. If in doubt, there's nothing wrong with sizing up and using a belt :)"
As was the same deal with the field jackets regarding heights, the Belgian "short" size fits more akin to a "regular" length inseam (~31"). Just like the jackets, we've tested users up to 6 feet tall and found they were able to wear the short size comfortably, with no hinderance to mobility.

Came in on time, stinked a little... Was a bit short (I'm 6'3"/190cm and ordered the Medium/Long!) There was a cut on the right pant leg and a used condom in the thigh pocket... 5 Stars.
These pants have definitely seen some things. Worn, faded and in need of a little tlc. Don't be fooled however, these are extremely comfy. Provided you put in a little effort to help preserve them, they still have some years left in them, and plenty of character.
Puzzle camo is good to keep my inner autism on the down low, but wear it on the outside. Get a lot of compliments from other autists at the gun shop. Love these pants.
They're great pants, the fact they're colored after Shaggy from Scooby-Doo really does prove Max from Sam and Max right. The Belgians really are godless.
Great pants for those of you that enjoy some outdoorsy stuff when you aren’t running and gunning. Only downside is the piss port is a button and not a zipper.
