Cold War Norwegian Ski Pants? Help identifying these trousers

Hey everyone,

New to the forum, long time re-enactor; 1st Virginia Regiment, St. Mary's City militia and many more.

I was wondering if I could get a little help identifying these pants. My uncle, Al Saguto, said they might be Cold War Norwegian Ski Pants but wasn't sure. I bumped into a guy at a store one day and was only able to get a few quick snaps but no more information. Any info on them; period, regiment, etc, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

There should be a production tag inside that would help. I think they're German as I had a set of the normal wool combat pants that were similar.

Sadly I wasn't able to get a view of the tag as I only bumped into the guy in a store.

German tho? Great! Now I have a bit to work with. Thoughts on era?

IF they're German, mine are marked with the year...1960 I think...

This is pretty close, not quite, but almost Military Army Dress Serge Winter - Ski Pants 1952 Korean War Era from toinetterl on Ruby Lane

Those are English or Canadian though. Completely different material.

By the front pocket it looks like a British Commonwealth item . The Greeks, Belgian and Dutch used the British Battle Dress type trouser . If those " Knickers " had a pleated small pocket ( for Field Dressing ) right where the mans right hand is then it would be a Commonwealth item. I own a couple of Belgian Battle Dress trousers dated 1949 .

Wrong material...

Is it possible that these are Dispatch Riders Trousers used by motor cyclists?

Not dispatch rider trousers, they look more like British ski trousers. Are there any legible labels?
