"Looking forward to those beautiful zig-zagging fades..."

The Fatigue Shorts are made from a 100% cotton herringbone twill (HBT) cloth. This type of fabric was widely used by the US military for uniforms in the WW2 era and looked great doing it. The one we have selected for our Fatigue Shorts is a light 8oz weight so suited to warm weather. Perfect for shorts as it is for our summer weight Cargo Pants.

Like denim, HBT fades beautifully with wear, washing and age. The weave, zig zagging like the bones of a herring – has a fantastic texture and stands out more as the cloth fades.

It’s in the details

Integrated adjustable belt that continues the full circumference of the waistband to give you a fit that’s just right.

British-made zip fly

Plastic-free top button made from nuts. More here.

Two front pockets

Secret pocket in left pocket

Single back pocket

Vintage army style meets HebTroCo design…

Amelia made the pattern for our Fatigue Shorts, styled with a loose upper leg cut and rectangular sewn front pockets just like classic US army Fatigue Pants. These military pants were made in their millions after WW2, through the Vietnam War and into the Cold War era.

Obviously ours are shorts, but still carry the original military design brief – light, comfy and cut to allow a good range of movement.

They have good sized pockets and belted waist adjusters to avoid the bulk of an actual belt.

How are they different to our Action Shorts?

Casual shorts rather than a more athletic style.

100% cotton rather than a recycled stretch synthetic cloth.

They’re also a little bit longer in the leg.

You will need to wear under crackers with the Fatigue Shorts (unless you’re going Commando) as there isn’t a “ball bag” liner.

    As expected, one hole for my right leg with a corresponding hole for my left leg. Material is a really nice weight, fit is great and as described. Very happy.

    Had them a week and they’re my favourite shorts already. The cut is perfect and you can dress them up or down. They’ll age nicely too. Also ordered the navy ones.
