Tiger Stripe Camo BDU Shorts

Tiger Stripe BDU Shorts

Rothco cuts these shorts from the pattern of the BDU, or Battle Dress Uniform, the US military field uniform known for its roomy fit and generous pockets. The result is a pair of warm-weather cargo shorts with six pockets, side waist adjusters and a hem that sits just above the knee. The tiger stripe camo, with horizontal bands of green, brown, tan and black, dates to the Vietnam War era. These suit range days, camping, yard work and anyone who wants a classic military pattern in their summer rotation.

Features

• Tiger Stripe Camo Pattern — Long horizontal brushstrokes of olive, brown, tan and black recreate the camouflage made famous in Southeast Asia.
• Cotton-Polyester Blend — Cotton keeps the fabric comfortable against the skin, and polyester adds durability and helps the shorts hold their shape through repeated washing.
• Two Flapped Cargo Pockets — A large bellowed pocket on each thigh has a covering flap to keep gear from bouncing out.
• Two Front Slash Pockets — Angled hand pockets at the hips give easy access to keys, a phone or a wallet.
• Two Rear Flap Pockets — Flapped pockets on the seat add storage behind you.
• Waist Adjustment Tabs — Straps with buckles on each side let you cinch the waistband a little tighter without relying on a belt.
• Belt Loops — Standard loops around the waistband take an everyday belt or a riggers belt when you want one.
• Above-Knee Length — The hem ends just above the knee, so the shorts stay out of the way when you squat, climb or kneel.

Fabric And Fit

These are new commercial shorts from Rothco, not issued surplus, made in a cotton-polyester blend that handles everyday wear. The BDU cut is relaxed through the seat and thigh, which leaves room for movement and full cargo pockets. If you are between sizes, the side adjustment tabs give you some room to fine-tune the waist.
