Review: A Very Good Reproduction of Jungle Pants - If you are looking for Vietnam type Fatigue pants, these are the pants for you. I actually have some USA-made issue pants from the mid 1970's(NATO numbers are on the tags) that I bought 30 years ago at my local army surplus store and the Rothco pants are a close but not exact copy of them and that is a good thing. As a collector of military items, I am glad that Rothco did not make a 100% accurate fatigue pant as they would be resold on the internet as real issue Vietnam clothing. The differences I can tell are: zipper instead buttons for the fly, 1 button per rear pocket flap instead of two, less stitching per inch on seams than issue, lighter weight rip stop cotton material than issue, round cord for pant cuff ties instead of flat nylon tape, a slightly lighter color of OD green, and the addition of the bandage pocket in the left cargo pocket that my issue pants do not have. I have used these pants for camping, hiking, Scouts, etc as I prefer the feel of the cotton material over the nylon material you find in the outdoor stores currently. These pants are sized to be somewhat loose fitting and are sized proportional, meaning that size Large will have somewhat larger pant legs and cargo pockets than size medium or small. The size large pants I ordered had tags that said Large Regular, but the length seemed almost a Long which is better for me anyway. My suggestion would be if you wash them and want the size to stay the same, wash them in cold water and hang to dry. You can buy actual 1960's issue pants on the internet but you won't be paying desertcart prices as I was seeing them on the internet for $100 plus.
Review: A Bargain - I have purchased these pants multiple times over 10 years. I have no complaints. The fit 'size' is perfect as described. They're comfortable. Spot on replica of military trousers from the early 70's.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ They're great pants. Wrong colour, though
*by A***E on March 31, 2025*

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
