Newfatigue Herringbone Cotton Fatigue Trousers

NEWFATIGUE 2T is a faithful reproduction of the OG107 military trousers worn during the Vietnam War, featuring a pleat-free design and large front patch pockets.

This garment seeks to keep alive the essence and spirit of an era marked by radical changes—in both fashion and the broader sociopolitical landscape. Fortela’s decision to reintroduce these trousers today reflects a desire to preserve and reinterpret the memory of significant historical moments through the lens of clothing.

The fabric used for the NEWFATIGUE 2T is HBT—short for Herringbone Twill—known for its distinctive chevron weave that enhances tear resistance and durability. This choice is intentional: herringbone cotton twill was widely used in military uniforms for its strength and protective qualities under stress.

Made from 100% cotton, the trousers offer a soft handfeel and excellent breathability for everyday wear, while staying true to the authentic origins of the garment.

The straight-leg cut of the NEWFATIGUE 2T is both a stylistic and functional choice. It recalls the original military design intended to ensure freedom of movement and comfort, while also aligning with contemporary preferences for more relaxed, roomier silhouettes. This makes the trousers well-suited to a range of body types, offering a distinctive, recognizable look.

The two large front patch pockets are reinforced with parallel double stitching, ensuring durability under wear and stress. A single waist button adds further strength and structure.

On the back, two large flap pockets with button closures emphasize the garment's robust, utilitarian character. Above them are reinforced belt loop buttonholes, designed to secure a belt if worn. Stitching throughout is tone-on-tone with the fabric, except for the signature Fortela orange topstitching, which adds a subtle brand hallmark. Stitch lines follow the contours of the waistband and pockets, creating a neat and structured visual effect.

NEWFATIGUE 2T, available in various shades, honors the garment’s historical inspiration while introducing a modern versatility that allows it to be styled with a wide range of clothing and accessories.

Thanks to its neutral tones and clean design, NEWFATIGUE 2T pairs effortlessly with casual outfits—like T-shirts and sneakers—or can be dressed up with shirts and more refined shoes for smart-casual occasions. This versatility allows the trousers to bridge different styles and settings with ease.

Ultimately, NEWFATIGUE 2T is a bridge between past and present—a garment that encapsulates history, function, and style. It speaks to resilience, comfort, and attention to detail, making it ideal for anyone looking to carry a piece of reinterpreted history into their everyday life through contemporary design.
