Black Vintage Infantry Utility Shorts

Vintage Infantry Shorts

The Rothco Vintage Infantry Utility Short is a knee-length cargo short built from heavyweight washed cotton, cut for a relaxed fit that moves. Six pockets give you room for a phone, wallet, multi-tool and the small gear you want on hand, so this works as well for hiking and camping as it does for everyday carry. The washed, distressed finish gives it a broken-in look straight from the package.

Features

• Heavyweight Washed Cotton — Built from 100% cotton with a washed finish that keeps shrinkage down and gives the fabric its faded, broken-in character.
• Six-Pocket Layout — Two front slash pockets, two button-down rear pockets, two pleated side cargo pockets and a small change pocket.
• Pleated Cargo Pockets — The side pockets fold flat when empty and expand to hold bulkier items like a GPS, flashlight or snacks.
• French Zipper Fly — A clean, concealed zipper fly behind the button closure for a finished front.
• Button Waist With Drawstrings — A button waistband plus inside drawstrings let you snug the fit without a belt.
• Drawstring Legs — Adjustable cords at the leg openings let you cinch the hem for a tapered look or leave it loose.
• Knee-Length Inseam — The legs fall just above the knee for coverage without the bulk of full pants.
• Distressed Vintage Details — Deliberate wear and fading give these a lived-in look rather than a stiff, new-off-the-rack feel.
• Relaxed Fit — Cut with room through the seat and thigh so you can hike, kneel and climb without the fabric fighting you.

Build And Fit

Rothco cuts these from heavyweight 100% cotton and washes the finished short to soften the hand and limit shrinkage after the first few trips through the laundry. The relaxed cut and knee-length inseam suit warm-weather work, trail days and casual wear, while the two deep cargo pockets and drawstring legs carry the practical military cargo short detailing into an everyday piece.
