1961 UTILITY SHORTS VTG SATEEN
YANKSHIRE 1961 UTILITY SHORTS VTG SATEEN
These utility shorts are a faithful yet modern reinterpretation of the U.S. military fatigue pants used in the 1960s, often referred to as baker pants. Redesigned in a shorts format, they preserve the spirit and structure of the originals while adapting to contemporary lifestyles through the lens of YANKSHIRE.
The fabric is genuine deadstock vintage sateen, the very same material issued to military personnel during that era. Its dense weave and subtle sheen offer a refined look, while the firm yet smooth texture provides comfort for daily wear. As the shorts are worn and washed, they develop a beautiful patina, with fading and character that can only come from true vintage fabric.
The silhouette remains faithful to the wide, mobility-focused design of the originals. Generously cut with a clean drop from hip to hem, they deliver a relaxed shape that works effortlessly with modern outfits. The volume is balanced in a way that adds structure rather than slouch, creating a rugged but refined presence.
Detailing is kept true to early 60s specifications. A button-fly front, large flap back pockets, and adjustable side tabs at the waist form a functional and purposeful construction. With zero excess and pure utility, these shorts embody the idea that form follows function.
Whether worn in the city or out in nature, these shorts offer the kind of versatility that only authentic military-inspired clothing can provide. A standout piece for vintage enthusiasts and newcomers alike, built on real history and enduring craftsmanship.
*We also recommend the matching setup style made from the same fabric. These trousers are a typical YANKSHIRE item that develops more character the more you wear them.
