A couple of years ago, I picked up a pair of Vietnam-era USGI vesicant gas protective trousers that were made to be worn over fatigues, hence the stupendous amounts of surplus cloth (see pictured images of the originals in the listing). The beauty is in their simplicity, no fly, no pockets, or belt loops, just purely worn for protection as its function. They looked amazing but lacked any real wearability. After taking a pattern and sourcing some great fabric, I fixed my favourite, and arguably the greatest military pockets at the hips, and here we have my version of the originals. Still with all its wonderful simplicity intact, but with plenty more functionality for the modern wardrobe.
