Rothco Black BDU Style Cargo Shorts

Black BDU Cargo Shorts

These Rothco shorts take the cut of the BDU (Battle Dress Uniform, the US military's long-serving field uniform) and stop it above the knee. You get the same pocket layout and adjustable waist as the full-length trousers in a format built for hot weather. In solid black, they work for range days, yard work, security shifts and everyday wear.

Features

• BDU Pattern Cut — The layout follows the classic military field trouser, with the legs shortened to sit just above the knee.
• Bellowed Cargo Pockets — A pocket on each thigh has pleated sides that expand as you load it, and a flap over the top keeps the contents in place.
• Rear Flap Pockets — Two back pockets with covering flaps hold a wallet or notebook more securely than an open pocket.
• Front Slash Pockets — Angled hand pockets at the front are easy to reach while standing or walking.
• Waist Adjustment Tabs — Side tabs at the waistband let you cinch the fit in or let it out without relying only on a belt.
• Belt Loops — Loops around the waistband take a standard trouser belt or a slim duty belt.
• Button Waist Closure — A single button secures the waistband above the fly.
• Cotton And Polyester Blend — Cotton keeps the fabric breathable in the heat, and polyester adds strength and helps the shorts hold their shape after washing.
• Solid Black Colorway — A plain black finish matches duty boots, uniform tops and casual shirts alike.

Fabric And Fit

Rothco makes these shorts from a cotton and polyester blend, which wears better than all-cotton work shorts and stays comfortable in warm weather. The fit is straight and roomy through the leg, as BDU-style clothing usually is, so movement stays easy when you crouch or climb. The side adjustment tabs help close the gap if you sit between waist sizes.
