Despite the name, we never grow tired of fatigues, especially when they’re chopped into shorts for the heat Down Under. Military garb has moved on since the days of olive drab M-65s and MA-1s but the classics live-on through brands like orSlow. Large pockets, waist cinches and a relaxed cut all combine to create a pair of shorts you can wear all day, every day.

What orSlow have done here is lighten things up with lightweight herringbone twill cotton that’s cooler than the usual sateen. It still makes for a pair of shorts that will age well over the years. Most new stuff looks nice, but it’s once you put some wear into it that good gear starts to shine.
