The military is responsible for a lot of classic menswear and gear, but few brands pull off good army pants for everyday wear without having a hint of costume vibes. Maybe it’s Relwen’s reliable Midwestern background or their belief that that fashion and function are inextricably related, but the Relwen Combat Pants are accurate to the US 1944 standard issue, but look slick and handsome even by modern standards.
It goes without saying that they’re well-built, with a dense yet comfortable canvas, fray-preventing fell seams, and tactical pockets. Still, Relwen gives the movement-prioritized fit a slight taper, enough to give it a flattering look without taking away from the genuine combat aesthetic. It’s pragmatism infused with style, casualness combined with well-kept precision.
