These are 2nd Model Jungle Fatigue Pants, which were manufactured for only a short period during the early stages of the Vietnam War.
Jungle Fatigue Pants are a masterpiece of U.S. military combat pants, developed with combat in tropical regions in mind. Featuring lightweight cotton poplin fabric, excellent breathability, and spacious cargo pockets, they remain highly popular today as the quintessential military pants.
This is the 2nd Model, which was produced for an exceptionally short period. As a transitional model leading to the later 3rd and 4th Models, it retains many distinctive details unique to the early models, such as a front button fly and cargo pockets with leg ties.Furthermore, this specific pair features glossy early-production buttons—a specification unique to the initial production run. While the difference may be subtle, it is a charm that collectors simply cannot overlook.
The size is X-SMALL-SHORT, the smallest size available and extremely rare. In vintage military wear, small sizes are scarce on the market, making this a valuable fit that can be worn with a balanced look even by women or those of smaller stature.
The condition is excellent—it’s safe to say it’s practically unused. The fabric retains its firm texture, and there are virtually no signs of wear. While there are some minor stains likely caused during storage, the condition is more than satisfactory for both practical use and collection.
Not only was the 2nd Model itself short-lived and few remain, but finding a pair that combines this condition with such a rare size is becoming increasingly difficult with each passing year. This is an exceptionally attractive piece, recommended not only for collectors of Vietnam War-era gear but also for anyone looking to incorporate vintage military style into their everyday wardrobe.
Condition
Used.
Although there is some minor dirt that likely accumulated during storage, there are almost no signs of wear—it is in excellent condition, nearly as good as new. It is such a pristine piece that some stores might even sell it as deadstock.
