The fatigue trouser has one of the most direct lineages in workwear. The US Army OG-107 — introduced in the 1950s as a utility field pant — defined the silhouette: loose through the seat and thigh, tapered to the hem, with a lower-sitting contoured waistband and pockets built for actual use. Originally made from cotton sateen, it was worn by soldiers, then by workers, then by anyone who needed a trouser that moved with them and held up to hard days. The Loose Fatigue updates that template in ripstop — a more durable, more technical cloth that holds the same silhouette with better resistance to wear and tear. Made in England.

Fabric

8oz treated cotton ripstop, woven in England. Ripstop is a reinforced weave — a grid of thicker threads woven at regular intervals into the base cloth, preventing tears from spreading. Originally developed for military parachutes and field gear, it’s now used wherever durability and light weight need to coexist. This version is treated for added weather resistance. The green colourway is a clean, mid-tone military green — brighter than olive, more considered than khaki. Machine washable.

Manufacturing

Made in England. Grown-on contoured waistband — cut lower in the front than the back for a more relaxed, natural sit. Loose through the seat and top half, tapering down the leg to the hem. Supply pockets at the front. Oversized patch pockets with buttoned flaps at the back — deep and roomy enough for most wallet sizes. Zip fly. Signature black buttons at waist and back pockets. Thick sturdy belt loops. Interior cotton binding at seams for a clean and comfortable finish.

Fit note

The waist is oversized by design. If you wear a belt, choose your normal waist size for a relaxed look. If you wear without a belt, size down one. Wear the leg cuffed high or low depending on the occasion.

Styling

The ripstop fabric gives this version a slightly more technical feel than the weathered cotton — works well with a plain tee or a lightweight overshirt worn open. The green colourway pairs naturally with black, navy, and grey above. Footwear: boots or chunky trainers suit the relaxed leg best.

Pairs well with

• Assault Overshirt in Vintage Dye Olive or Smoke Blue — tonal layering that works without trying
• English Worker Jacket in Washed Charcoal — contrast tone, same workwear register
• Heavyweight Knit — tucked in for a cleaner look through the waist
