Rothco Vintage Vietnam Rip-Stop Fatigue Pants – Mens BDU Lightweight Utility Cargos

Great reproduction pants. They are durable yet thin enough to be comfortable in hit weather. They appear to be accurate to the 3rd version jungle pants, including the "secret" smaller pocket inside the left leg pocket.

Great fit and comfortable.

I'm a 30w 32L, so I ordered the Small. I can't remember it's exact measurements but I do remember the waist is 32. Anyway, it fits perfectly, and is super comfortable, but it isn't quite baggy enough. If you look at any photos from the Vietnam war, their pants look huge, super baggy, so I'd recommend getting a size up, and sinching the waist down with a belt. Also, they're the wrong colour, just like the shirt that goes with them. They're easy to dye, however, so that wasn't a problem. If historical accuracy Isn't a concern, then you're good to go, these feel great

I think these were good at the time but I don’t remember if the color was mismatched or different. Maybe it was a different brand.

They size large. I always wear size Lg Long in bdus. I could have actually bought the Medium and been ok. These are much larger in waist than normal modern bdus. These are plenty long for 32.5 inseam as listed, long enough for me at 6'2", 220 lbs. These are very lightweight, almost like scrubs; this might be good for you but these aren't strong pants and unless you baby them - they're dust. I can see where they'd be better than modern bdus in tropics but at 100% cotton, they'll stay wet a long time and likely never really dry out and rot. There's a reason bdus morphed into what they are now and they're better today. Still, credit to Rothco for making these. I think they're very expensive for what they are but whatever I guess. I've wanted them a long time. At a glance it's very hard to tell them from broken in OD green modern BDUs so consider that. Most people will never know these are somehow soecial. I don't know if I'm going to keep them. Oh and they have the old style fat nylon ankle cuff laces which is awesome for keeping bugs out comfortably. Last thing, if I remember correctly the fabric on these is rougher texture than issue 100% cotton but that may be a thing that gets fixed with wash and use.

I had a pair of these from 98/99 that I picked up from a local military supply shop that were too big for me to wear anymore and was looking for a replacement. After searching the local shops and finding nothing similar and having the shop owners tell me to check with Rothco’s selection I found these. Size is slightly bigger in the waist and crotch than I expected (I’m a 32 waist x 31 leg) and definitely the length of the legs are much longer than my last pair by about 2 inches (34” long based on the garnet tag). I was able to cinch the side adjusters almost fully closed, Amazon suggested a small, but based on the chart I ordered the appropriate size which should be a medium. I don’t know how much they’ll shrink so I’m going to order the small and see how they fit. The fabric for these is thinner than my original pair and will probably not last as long as the ones I had before, which I wore for about twelve years. As others have stated the leg drawstring is not the tight cotton cording anymore but a synthetic shoe string style which stretches too much for my liking. It can almost double in length. Other than the small changes to the design construction is the same. I also had a light khaki pair from around the same time that featured a gusset crotch for mobility. These don’t have that either. Without any better options these should do for most activities. I may get a few pair in case they stop making them and in case they don’t last more than a couple of years. Update: The mediums were way too big and i swapped them out for a small. The small fits much better in the length and waist. Initially a bit tight for me, but after washing and hang drying with a slight stretch to the waist band with a clipped pant hanger, they fit perfectly. Already a lot of compliments and asks of who made, where I bought.

Nice material worth the money

Great reproduction of Vietnam era 3rd pattern ripstop, Vietnam era jungle fatigues (tropical combat uniform) Correct 1 button back pockets, zipper (not button fly, although they came in both), shoe string cuff ties, size adjustment sliders on each side (the sliders even have to be re-adjusted 50 times a day if your not wearing a belt - just like the originals), the knees and butt are not reinforced (which is period correct) and they even have the secret bandage pocket in the left thigh pocket. The fatigues are even sized overly long (some would say very long) so when bloused at the top of your boot they are very baggy, almost flowy (to break body shape). Incredibly comfortable just like the originals. I would have given them 5 stars for durability, but hey... they're rip stop. Anybody who's worn ripstop in harsh environments has become good at needlework or has a friend who is.

I was iffy on size picking.. However, If you follow the size chart.. You're good!!! A medium fits dead on for me.. #nobelt... These fit perfect!! The picture made it seem there wasn't strings at the bottoms like they show in other pictures.. But they're there.. Very comfy... I have these for work.. I usually work in -1 to -20. Goes well with the right long johns too... The length maybe abit long... But I'd rather the bottoms bunch up on top of my boots... They're roomy as well.. So you don't feel restrained while wearing them all day.... Can't go wrong with this purchase... Not too mention I got the item 5 days b4 the expected delivery date... Highly recommended!!! I only trust Rothco for my Fatigues/Camo Gear.....

Le gustaron mucho a mi hijo... A la media.... Yo creo que voy a comprar un par para mi....... ⭐👍

お手頃な価格でとても長持ちしてます。

La tela del pantalon es muy fresca y ligera y luce como si tuviera ya algunos años de uso lo cual es genial ya que se ve muy vintage se me hizo un poco caro pero al final vale la pena la compra.

They are a great pair of pants and fit well, I'm looking forward to testing them out in the bush
