Fatigue pant drop
Originally designed as part of the U.S. military's OG -107 uniform ( OG stood for olive green) in 1952, fatigue trousers (as they are known today) evolved from the 'HT' herringbone twill trousers worn during World War II.
They were made of durable cotton sateen (a tightly woven fabric with a smooth surface) and had a super-quick design with two flap pockets on the back and the characteristic rectangular patch pockets on the front. That was all that was needed. These uncomplicated and universal trousers were soon worn for much more than casual barracks work and also came into use in combat. The light and airy fabric also added to their appeal, making them ideal for the humid, tropical climate to which the U.S. Army was exposed during its time in Korea and Vietnam.
Because of their no-frills design, fatigues were also used by those who wanted to separate themselves from the trappings of consumer society, making them a favourite for all sorts of subcultures, from hippies in San Fran to punks in London. In the late 70s, the trademark cotton sateen was replaced by a poly/cotton blend. In 1981, the trousers were finally phased out by the U.S. military in favour of the more pocket-heavy BDU trousers.
