Far from a listicle, our Heddels+ Buyer’s Guides are deeper dives into options available for a specific garment, accessory, or piece of footwear. We provide some context or brief history of the style and thoroughly comb through its wide selection of available renditions to make a shortlist with separate categories, including a budget-friendly section.

One of the true year-round garments, Fatigue Pants can be a cornerstone in the modern wardrobe — especially if you’re into clothing with a vintage or military-centric aesthetic. They’re workhorse pants that can be dressed up or down, and I’ll go on record to say that in my opinion,  they’re the most essential non-denim pants you can invest in.

After their meteoric rise to popular fashion in the late 2010s, fatigue pants are now a mainstay in modern menswear, with many makers trying their hand at this military classic. With so many options out there now, we thought it was time to put together a comprehensive fatigue pant buyer’s guide for our H+ subscribers.

While many loose, olive-green military pants have been referred to as fatigues, we will be focusing on the OG-107 silhouette made famous in the Vietnam War. This is the archetypal ‘fatigue’ pant, and while it was traditionally issued in sateen, modern takes on this pant by contemporary brands mean you can pick up this legendary silhouette in a wide range of materials and colorways. Olive green will always be the champ, though.

This guide will be your companion for investing in your next pair of quality fatigue pants, be that an OG green pair or something a bit more modern. We’ve separated this shortlist into fits and colors, and put a budget-friendly section at the end to cover the full spectrum of quality fatigue pants out there in a clear and concise way.
