History Woven In Fabric
Fatigue pants, ubiquitous today, trace their lineage back to one of the U.S. Army’s most prolific pieces of kit – the OG-107 fatigue trouser. Made of 8.5oz. carded cotton sateen, the OG-107 utility uniform became one of the longest-issued uniforms in the U.S. Army, first produced in 1952 and eventually phased out in 1981. The trousers, part of a complete uniform overhaul in 1949, marked a purposeful shift to the Olive Green color, defining the Army's image during the Cold War. Known for their simplicity, the OG-107 trousers boasted two large front patch pockets, two rear patch pockets with button flap closures, and size adjustment tabs.
This iconic piece of military wear, due to surplus and a thriving market, found its way into civilian hands, becoming a symbolic choice for Vietnam Veterans Against the War and gaining popularity in pop culture, notably as the primary trouser worn by the cast of MAS*H for eleven seasons. The OG-107 trousers also became a staple for early hikers, rock climbers, and counterculture enthusiasts, valued for their durability and affordable prices.
The Fatigue Pant by &SONS pays tribute to this rich history, embodying the spirit of resourcefulness, resilience, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries – a garment that stands as a testament to its origins while making its mark in contemporary fashion.
