Rothco Tactical BDU Cargo Pants

This is the second time I have ordered from this brand on Amazon and I love them.., so did/do many of the ladies I attended a class with for two weeks. To my friends, I've called this color "coyote desert" - I could tell they wanted a pair. I have worn these to casual events wherein I was tired of khakis.., with a polo t-shirt, button down with and without a collar it still looks good. The tie strings near the ankle are like laces only I can tuck them inside the material for a neater look. My waist is a scoch under 40 inches (I'm older now and a lil portly) so I ordered a extra large and since I am five foot nine the " regular" length fit just fine. If you are five foot nine. Id recommend a "short". The regular length I ordered could fit someone just a tad shorter than six feet. But I really like the baggy/bagginess as it gives me an extra range of motion; sneakers are fine, so are semi laceddress shoes, but don't wear these with sandals or shoes you wear to the beach. I already have my third pair picked out.

I ordered several pairs of these pants in varying colors about 2 years ago. I wear them daily for work in a factory/warehouse environment. They've held up great, I'm considering getting a couple more pairs so I don't have to do laundry as often. They're a little stiff at first but quickly soften up after a few washings. I first heard about them from a friend who's had a pair for probably 10+ years (although he doesn't wear them as much). Pros: They're incredibly comfortable, fit is great - the breathability is great in the summer heat and they're enough of a relaxed fit that I can layer thermals under them in the winter. Pockets are nice and roomy (though that could be me being used to women's pockets lol). Cons: A couple minor things, 1. the camo ones the pattern is printed on whatever the lighter color is and the dye does fade over time. No completely bald spots even on my friend's that he's had forever, but they do definitely take on a "weathered" look eventually. I haven't had this issue with my solid colors. 2. I have one pair that must have slipped through a quality check or something, when I first got them they had some loose thread ends sticking out that I had to trim here and there. Seams have otherwise stayed solid. The same pair has so far in 2 years had 2 buttons come off, and a 3rd is getting loose. Easy enough to sew buttons back on so I don't mind, and again, none of my other pairs have had any issues so I think it's just a fluke with this one pair. Overall, 5 stars, regularly recommend them to my coworkers and customers!

Good buy. Especially as a big dude. Fits well and they are comfortable. A tad bit baggy but I went a size up. Plenty of space in the pants. I’m definitely ordering another pair

First off, the Camo pattern does look good. For those who don't know, this is an Experimental pattern that underwent trials in the 90's by the USMC (Project Urban Warrior). This is a legit, Official DOD pattern. That being said, it was never issued. The only people who got ahold of them were the Marines who wore them in the trials As for these Rothco Uniforms, they aren't bad. They do feel a little plastic-y compared to issued uniforms. They are not Rip-Stop, no Company seems to print Urban ERDL on a Ripstop uniform for some reason. These look like the same material as the old Heavy-Weight "Cold Weather" Twill BDUs, but they are not. The Material as significantly thinner, Almost as thin as Rip-Stop BDUs. That being said, they don't feel trashy. I worry that they would tear easy, but I haven't abused them yet. The cut is the same as Issued BDU pants, all is well there. If you're buying these solely for the looks/fashion reasons, keep in mind that they aren't super baggy. I know this pattern was big in the Skate and HipHop scenes once upon a time. These are fitted like Legit BDUs, if you order your normal size, they will not have that Baggy Alt look. Overall, they will serve their purpose. I bought them used for 25$. I would *not* pay full price for these. They are objectively not as well made as Legit BDUs (Which you can get for under 20$). 45$ is just too much for these.

Nice but not the fabric of my company uniform pants choice

I was in the military 35 years ago, and still have dozens of old uniform pants (BDUs and ABUs). And these cargo pants are the closest thing to original authentic military issue. From what I understand, I believe Rothco IS a military supplier. So if you want the real military fit and durability, these are what you want. They have several different camo patterns, as well as standard uniform and safety colours. I currently work on an airport ramp, and the pants take a lot of abuse. The particular airline I work for makes you buy pants from someone else (only because they'll pay for it). But they never fit, are quite uncomfortable (an Adult XL feels like a child's medium), and only last a few months. So I ended up purchasing these Rothco cargo pants instead, and the first pair lasted more than a year and a half before I had to replace them. I swear by them now, and will always purchase from this brand. They might be slight more expensive, but well worth it. Don't bother with anyone else.

Chinese made, not mil-spec, no rip-stop, heavier material, color differences, and a bit of a shine to the material, + some minor sizing differences from actual GI BDUs. Haven't tried viewing under UV, but highly doubtful that they would do anything other than glow like the sun. All that being said, they do seem to be fairly sturdy and well constructed. Belt-loops are slightly larger than GI issue, which is a plus. Pockets are a little shallow compared to GI issue. Price to quality (from testing so far) is pretty good. Not a bad overall work pant, or for general Thrash-Metal/Grind-Core uniform, but would not recommend as a stand in for tactical use.

Fit was good. A little big but next size probably would have been too small and short. Highly recommend. Washes well.

These pants fit really well, the size chart is accurate. The quality of the material is good, they're pretty durable, and the stitching is strong.

Good quality pants. Well made.

Over the years I have bought various Rothco BDU clothing. Pants, Shorts, Jackets and Shirts. Can not fault the quality and the fit. They are all very well made and are comfortable to wear. These latest purchases were the Smokey Branch BDU Pants. I love this particular camouflage colour. Amazon had a reduced price on these particular items so I purchased several pairs.

Fit perfect for a 32" waist. Little bit snug. Recommend size large if you like pants to fit loose. Arrived in great time. Pants are great quality for the price.

Great quality. Thick material. Well made. Wash well. Don’t fade.
