Rothco Vintage Vietnam Rip-Stop Fatigue Pants Camo Cargo Pants

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.

Aloha Dave, Thanks for the unbelievably great service and great trousers. I just ordered two more pair.The four you sent me got here in only four days. The FedEx driver accidently delivered the package to the wrong address, down the street, but thanks to up-to-the-minute excellent computer tracking, a really nice agent at the local office and the great driver, he was able to retrieve it and hand it to me within a half hour of him logging the drop-off into the system. It was an incredible experience and all involved should be proud of themselves.The ripstop cotton trouser material is not as tight weave as the original cotton poplin, but is cotton, soft, breathable and really comfortable here on the construction job in Hawaii. So much better than going home in wet sweaty denims at the end of the day. You made a crazy week at work so much better... big mahalo.The originals came in short, medium, long and extra-long. These have a single length per size and run long, so I cuffed them three folds.. fine with me. I removed the draw-cords.. no need to blouse on the jobsite =)Made in china.., but, what isn't? Wish they were still made in the USA.Sizes seem to run true, get 'em, you'll love 'em.Happy to be back in my favorite pants... thanks Dave, so much. I'm back for more now and I'll be back again, guaranteed!Amazon and Dave, thanks for the great service and free shipping.Mick... Stoked in da islands

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

The sizing was correct for me. A large is size 35-39 around the waist. I wear a 36 normally so they fit perfectly. The pants have a solid, but comfortable feel to them. They seem very durable. The material is thick enough to not rip easily, yet light enough to not weigh you down or make you overly hot. I work in Afghanistan so this is very important to me. For the price you can't really go wrong with these.I bought a similar style in a store recently that costed $60 and they were nowhere near as durable as these.BTW, these are Rothco "Ultra Zone" brand pants. You can find them elsewhere on the web for around $27, so Amazon is a tad over-priced, but when you factor in the free shipping and the reliability of Amazon you still come out ahead. The seller shipped them almost immediately and I had them by the end of the week.All-around great buy.

A lot of others had issues with the sizing of these pants, so I made sure to carefully read everything & then measure. I got what I thought was correct, but when they arrived, they looked like you could fit 2 of me in them - HUGE.I love the pants though, so am exchanging for a smaller size. The print is really cool looking, and they seem to be pretty durable. The price is right also.I have been searching high & low for pants like this - I don't carry a purse, and I need lots of pockets for work. With the advent of "skinny jeans" & "jeggings" it's really hard to find "normal people" pants. (meaning, I'm over 35, so I refuse to wear those types of pants... I think they look horrible on everyone.)
