Over the years, FIFTH has travelled to the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as Russia, Italy, Hungary, Slovenia, Spain, and many other countries including parts of Eastern Europe, to source vintage pieces. Through these trips, we have handled a wide range of military trousers and cargo pants firsthand.
After studying the differences in silhouette, fabric, and detailing from country to country, we reinterpreted those elements through our own perspective.
While retaining the rugged character of workwear, we refined the silhouette toward a slightly dressier and cleaner balance. The width, drape, and overall line have all been carefully adjusted.
For the details, we took inspiration from the U.S. Army Jungle Fatigue Pants of the late 1960s, incorporating period-specific elements such as the distinctive cargo pockets and flap shapes.
