German Flectarn Camo Field Shorts - used

I wear a US size 'Medium' pant, usually expressed as waist size 32 (more or less). I am slender, weigh 155 pounds and stand 6 feet tall. I ordered two pair of these 'used' German surplus pants in what is marked as 'M' (German size: 'Gross 7') size. They are too small for me and would more accurately be better described as 'S', accordingly. On the plus side, these are very 'gently used'...probably issued to new German Army recruits and worn only once or twice (if at all) before being turned in and sold as surplus. As such, they are in excellent condition and at $13/pair a very good buy. However: Be advised that they are 'small-sized' and one should probably purchase a size up from the indicated tag (that is, order a 'L' instead of a 'M', if one is a US MEDIUM). That shared, Hessan always delivers quickly and stand behind their products to assure customer satisfaction! I say that having used Hessan several times in the past, over a number of years! Hals un beinbracht! Vielen Dank!
