An Unusual Pairing
by Vincent
A pair of fatigues isn’t always the simplest task to pull off without looking sloppy, especially when the name tag in the back says Engineered Garments. For the shorter fellas, like myself, EG just doesn’t fit right, the wide legged pant makes us look pretty foolish, so I had these EG BDU’s tapered to about a 15″ opening, which is just the right width if you ask me. I suggest anyone to just hit up the surplus store, pick up a pair of fatigues and get them tapered; look for draw strings at the ankles too, kind of a nice feat if you ask me.
I found an old pair of vintage oxfords laying in my old man’s closet and judging by the years of dust layers, I didn’t even ask and made em mine. Topped with a white shirt, the unusual pairing is a great look for the summer (oh yeah, sans socks please).

I need some fit pics man… want to see this in action…
@Ryan : Next time, next time!
Followed through on your advice before about the John Rich & Bro’s chinos, love ‘em. Mind tellin’ me where you bought the EG fatigue’s at now? Haha, much appreciated.
B : Hey, I’m glad you liked the chinos! These are gonna be pretty hard to find…I got them at Odin this Spring when they were on sale from the Fall09 collection.
I’d suggest you call up some stockists, or wait til they drop them again possibly this fall?
Or just go to the army surplus, Propper makes a VERY similar one!
