In 1941, the Soviet Army introduced a new camouflage design: dark leaves and twigs printed on a khaki field, referred to in period literature as letniy kamuflyazh — summer camouflage. Where earlier Soviet patterns had been disruptive in nature, this one was mimetic — semi-realistic representations of foliage, grasses, and twigs designed to dissolve a soldier’s outline into the undergrowth rather than simply break it up. Surviving examples suggest the overprint was produced in at least two color variations: a green-dominant version for spring and summer, and a grey-brown version for autumn use. Some uniforms were reversible between the two.
Issue was selective. Assault engineers, snipers, airborne forces, and NKVD reconnaissance units were the most common recipients during the Second World War. The pattern saw continued Soviet service well into the 1960s.
Following the war, large stocks were transferred to Romania, where the letniy kamuflyazh became the only camouflage uniform in use until the 1990s. Romanian production continued the pattern — early uniforms appear to have been Soviet-manufactured, later ones made domestically — and a locally-produced inversion appeared in the 1960s, with brown leaf shapes on a grass-green field rather than the original khaki ground. The pattern that entered Romanian service in 1960 with reconnaissance personnel was still being worn when the Soviet Union collapsed.
245g/m² cotton twill, cut straight-leg with slash and side pockets — a full-length utility pant with the stiff, structured drape genuine cotton twill is known for. Built to hold a pattern the way it was meant to be worn.

A note on fit and finish: every piece is cut and printed on demand, so expect natural variation of 1–3 cm between garments, and slight differences between the mockup and the finished pants — fabric behaves differently than a screen.
