The U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) used the "P-56" utility pants from the late 1950s. These are truly "Marine Corps-specific" pants, known for their details and materials that differ from the Army's OG-107 pants.
The most distinctive feature of this model is the unique rounded corner patch pocket on the back pocket. This specification is unique to the USMC and is also inherited by some of its successors, the P-58 and P-60, but in the P-56, its balance and presence stand out in particular. In addition, the button-fly front, deep inseam, and thick, tapered silhouette create a classic appearance.
The material is a supple yet durable cotton satin fabric. The beautiful fading that can be seen throughout the fabric has given it a well-used look. The softness of the fabric and the gradation of the colors are unique to vintage. This is the real "aesthetics of wear and tear" that cannot be reproduced by replicas.
In the 1950s, the USMC maintained its own equipment system, and the P-56 pants were a symbol of that system. In the tense post-Korean War era, these uniform pants that supported the Marines in their grueling missions are more than just old clothes; they are military heritage.
As a collection and as a fashion item, this pair has a depth and presence that cannot be found anywhere else. For all those who want to wear the good old USMC style.
Please note that this is a pre-owned item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
