Galliffet trousers

Galliffet or gallifet (галифе, galife) were a style of trousers in military uniform of the Soviet Army. They were similar to riding breeches, fit for jackboots. Russian dictionaries define "galife" as pants fitting the knees and below, to easily fit the high boots, and expanding from above the knees.

They were named after French general Gaston Alexandre Auguste, Marquis de Galliffet.
