Inspired by the 1969 U.S. Army 5th Model Tropical Jungle Fatigue Pants, representing the final evolution of the Tropical Combat Uniform ("TCU") before the transition to the "BDU" era.
The 8 oz ripstop cotton fabric, first adopted in 1968, replaced earlier cotton poplin for improved durability and tear resistance in tropical combat conditions. Design refinements include hidden pocket buttons to prevent snagging, the removal of pocket drawstrings, and articulated knee pleats to enhance mobility in the field.
Finished in an authentic olive green tone, with color and texture closely matching original, these pants balance historical accuracy with everyday wearability — a true essential for military collectors and vintage enthusiasts alike.
