Rothco Tiger Stripe Camo Vintage Paratrooper Cargo Shorts

Tiger Stripe Cargo Shorts

Rothco's Vintage Paratrooper Cargo Shorts take the pocket layout of military jump trousers and cut it down to a knee-length short for warm weather. This version comes in tiger stripe, the dense horizontal-stripe camouflage tied to the Vietnam War, printed in green, brown, tan and black. Six pockets give you room for a phone, wallet, keys and small gear without carrying a bag. They suit summer outings, range days, camp and everyday wear.

Features

• Tiger Stripe Camouflage — Broken horizontal bands of green, brown and tan over black copy the pattern made famous in Southeast Asian jungle fighting.
• Paratrooper-Style Cargo Pockets — A large flapped pocket on the outside of each thigh is pleated at the sides so it can open up to take bulkier items.
• Two Slash Front Pockets — Angled hand pockets at the hips are easy to reach while standing or walking.
• Two Flapped Rear Pockets — Covered back pockets help keep a wallet or folded map in place.
• Six Pockets In Total — Front, thigh and rear pockets spread the load so no single pocket sags.
• Button Waist With Belt Loops — A button closes the waistband, and belt loops take a standard trouser belt or a riggers belt.
• Cotton And Polyester Blend — Cotton keeps the fabric comfortable in heat, and polyester adds strength and helps the shorts keep their shape.
• Knee-Length Cut — The hem sits just above the knee for freedom of movement when walking, climbing or crouching.

Build And Fit

These are commercial shorts from Rothco, not issued surplus, built in a cotton and polyester blend with a vintage look to the fabric. The cut is a straight, relaxed leg that leaves room over the thigh, and the cargo pockets sit on the outer seam where they stay out of the way of your hands. Wear them with a plain tee and sneakers as shown, or with boots in the field.
