Gentlemen, we're back in the game.
Yes, that's a camo pattern extremely close to US 3-color Desert used in operation Iraqi freedom. Dutch 3-color desert is essentially from the same color scheme, but with slightly different drawings. You could fool quite a few people with it.
The color scheme isn't the only thing that's a little bit off. The more you look the weirder it gets — The entire front portion of the waist is two-way velcro adjustable articulating at the pockets and it's got a clif-bar sized pocket nar the ankle...
Whatever it is that Seyntex, a Belgian firm (or sometimes another company called Wahler) was on while making these uniforms is up to debate, but we can't really argue with some of their design decisions in terms of cool factor.
If you want a crisp & clean 3 color desert garment that hasn't been on the backs of a bunch of jarheads, the Dutch did a pretty great job at keeping their surplus in good condition. It's an easy way to spec into desert camo without breaking the bank or getting a something that feels worse to wear than public school toilet paper...

Sizing
Pants are sized based on your overall height, and waist size (circumference). We've translated the euro sizes over to Good Ol' Fashion Inches (as God intended). If you're between height brackets, it's up to you if you'd like a shorter inseam or a longer one, but both sizes should work. Waist sizes are extremely adjustable thanks to the hook and loop waist adjustments on the pants.
Condition
Field Pants are in great condition, with only minor signs of wear. No rips, tears, cuts, or holes are on the pants, and all hardware is present and functional.
