BR51907 / BUZZ RICKSON'S TROUSERS, MEN'S, COTTON WIND RESISTANT POPLIN, OLIVE GREEN, ARMY SHADE 107 SHORTS

The "Jungle Fatigue," as the tropical field uniforms were known, were adopted and issued during the Vietnam War. Like the jackets, the exposed buttons on the first model of pants became hidden buttons on the second and later models. In Vietnam, where most of the fighting took place in the jungle, exposed buttons would catch on branches and other equipment, so the second model was improved with hidden buttons that were not exposed outside the flap. In addition, the straps that secured the contents of the cargo pockets were eliminated, the waist adjustment tabs were changed from buttons to metal fittings, and the material was changed to ripstop fabric. Since the first model was only used for a short period of time, the number of surviving models is by far the smallest and rarest in existence.
