Review: Loving these., no need to order a larger size // second purchase - This is the second time I have ordered from this brand on desertcart and I love them.., so did/do many of the ladies I attended a class with for two weeks. To my friends, I've called this color "coyote desert" - I could tell they wanted a pair. I have worn these to casual events wherein I was tired of khakis.., with a polo t-shirt, button down with and without a collar it still looks good. The tie strings near the ankle are like laces only I can tuck them inside the material for a neater look. My waist is a scoch under 40 inches (I'm older now and a lil portly) so I ordered a extra large and since I am five foot nine the " regular" length fit just fine. If you are five foot nine. Id recommend a "short". The regular length I ordered could fit someone just a tad shorter than six feet. But I really like the baggy/bagginess as it gives me an extra range of motion; sneakers are fine, so are semi laceddress shoes, but don't wear these with sandals or shoes you wear to the beach. I already have my third pair picked out.
Review: Buy a size up from what you think. - Runs small. Buy a size up. Great pants that are budget friendly. I have pairs that are 14 years old as of writing this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Legendary Durability – Still My Favorite Tactical Pants
*by B***A on March 7, 2026*

I’ve been using Rothco BDU pants for years, and they’re incredibly durable. I still have a pair that’s around 15 years old and it’s still going strong. Since I’ve lost some weight, I ordered two pairs in my old size by mistake and they didn’t fit, so I gave them to my brother. Then I ordered two more one size down and voilà — perfect fit. Rugged, comfortable, and reliable. These pants are simply timeless.
