Simplicity in design often isn’t that simple to achieve. Distilling something down to its most basic form takes great skill – and whilst a lot of things are often sold on their long list of supposedly life-changing features, the classics that truly stand the test of time are often masterpieces of minimalism, stripped of all superfluous detail.

Fatigue pants are a prime example of this. A hearty bit of olive green sateen cotton, four patch pockets and a few belt loops… a perfect recipe that doesn’t need to be messed with. We’ve been making them since the 1970s, and although the world might have changed a bit since then, our fatigues haven’t.

Made from durable sateen cotton (a densely woven fabric with a smooth finish), they featured a super-stripped-back design, with two flap pockets on the back and those trademark rectangular patch pockets on the front. Nothing else was needed. Uncomplicated and universal, these straight-up, no-nonsense trousers were soon worn for far more than odd jobs around the barracks, and would often be used in combat.

The 80s painter pant is an update of the original painter pant, with a slightly tapered leg and rounded back pockets. This pair are made from a natural, un-dyed heavyweight cotton drill.
