M40 Denim Trousers, Kids
The “US ARMY M40 Denim Trousers” were adopted in August 1940, following the M35 with Cinch Back sewn on. These pants, which closely resemble the M36 Cotton Khaki Trousers (chino pants) adopted in 1936 except for the fabric and the shape of the back pockets, were the final model of the U.S. Army blue denim trousers, and after that, their role as the U.S. Army Fatigue Trousers was taken over by models made from HBT fabric. The role as the U.S. Army fatigues trousers was taken over by models made of HBT fabric. Compared to the classic M35, the M40 Denim Trousers Kids Model has been remodeled to the latest U.S. Army style of the time.
