Rothco Tiger Stripe Camo Vintage Paratrooper Cargo Shorts

Tiger Stripe Cargo Shorts

Rothco's Vintage Paratrooper Cargo Shorts take the classic six-pocket military short and cut it for warm weather. The washed cotton/polyester twill has a broken-in feel straight out of the bag, and the Tiger Stripe pattern carries the dark, irregular brushstroke camo first used in Southeast Asia. These suit hiking, camping, range days, and everyday wear when you want pockets that actually hold your gear.

Features

• Six-Pocket Layout — Two slash hand pockets, two rear flap pockets, and two bellowed cargo pockets on the thighs give you room for maps, a phone, and small tools.
• Reinforced Cargo Pockets — The pockets are stitched for extra strength so they hold their shape and stand up to loaded, repeated use.
• Zipper Fly With Drawstring — A zipper fly closes the front, and an inside waistband drawstring lets you snug the fit without a belt.
• Washed Twill Fabric — Cotton/polyester twill is pre-washed, which softens the material and takes the stiffness out of a new pair.
• Tiger Stripe Camo — The pattern uses narrow dark stripes over green and tan, a look rooted in Vietnam-era field uniforms.
• Belt Loops — A full set of belt loops around the waist lets you run any standard belt for a more secure fit.
• Wide Size Range — Offered in waist sizes from 27 to 51 inches with inseams from 9 to 11.5 inches, so you can match both your waist and the leg length you want.
• Everyday And Field Use — Built for hiking, camping, and casual wear, with enough storage to double as working shorts.

Build And Fit

Rothco makes these as a reproduction of the military paratrooper cargo short, not as original government-issue surplus, so you get the classic cut without the wear of a used item. The cotton/polyester blend balances the comfort of cotton against the added durability of polyester, and the washed finish means the fabric is already soft. Check your waist measurement against the size you order, and pick the inseam that gives you the leg length you prefer.
