I used to work with a guy that cut his own hair...
We called him "Patches"

Man, you guys poo-pood all over my experimental kimono phase. I'm obviously bored and looking at stuff. I did grab the patchwork BDU pants and they hearken back for my military days and no one took a crap on them and they seem pretty safe (I would blouse them). I also got a safe PBJ chambray work shirt while I was on the Okayama Denim site (you know, to save the planet by shipping combined or something). It is tame enough that I didn't feel the need to ask.

Bro, you can do so much better

Just got these Orslow fatigues in. Don’t mind my gym shirt just trying pants on. Are these way too baggy, should I get them tapered a little and hemmed? Also what kind of footwear would look good with them?

 

[hoodog]

Don't taper and don't hem. If they aren't what you're looking for then try another maker or cut.

Fatigues usually work with the whole range of casual footwear. Go nuts.

This ^. Whatever you do, don’t taper. Hem if you don’t want to roll them.

I just feel like they’re too baggy for boots no? I think they’ll look cool with sneakers... not sure if I got any boots that they’d go well with due to color + baggyness

If that's how you feel, then don't wear them with boots or get another cut.

I posted a fit on WAYWT with my olive slims with boots. I cuffed em 3 times

These aren’t slims. They’re the US Army version. My thighs don’t fit in the slim ones

they look really good on you tho ?

 

[dieworkwear]

I think those would work with boots. Obviously depends on the boot, but general workwear styles seem like they'd go naturally with those. Military-style boots, Viberg service boots, Alden Indy, etc.

I feel like slimming/tapering orslow completely removes the need for the pants to be from orslow.

 

[dieworkwear]

Hard to see what the pants look like in that light and at that camera angle. But if they're olive fatigues, I think that style looks better a little fuller anyway.

If the cut feels a bit full to you, try pin rolling the bottom. Not too tight, obviously, but just as a way to give the pants some shape. I find that sometimes helps bridge the gap between the idea of 2010-era slim fatigues and a slightly fuller cut now. It helps give the leg line some shape.

 

[MeatFish]

Orslow regular fit fatigues are ideal. The leg opening works well with nearly all footwear, loagers, boots, laceups, thong flip flops idk.
The fit looks good as is, especially with all of the fuller fitting clothing you’ve Recently Purchased.
Just cuff them to adjust to the desired length/visual weight of the shoe.
