tech/military type pant; looking for them

[breakfasteatre]

Ok, I was thinking about getting i dont even know, a techfabric, cargo type pant. preferably in black

I checked out the acronym website to see if they had anything and they have a black pair which looks interesting but i cannot aford anything like that. Something a little more reasonable and easier to obtain.

I was also thinking about snowboard pants, but they are fucking huge it seems, and i think i might look ridiculous?

I just feel goofy as hell wearing jeans with my winter parka and wanted something to match up with the top i guess.

I think you're thinking about BDUs.

Watch for Rogans, Supreme, Surrender, Silas, W)Taps. They makes really good ones. Don't forget they are supposed to worn a bit baggy

[Handlethevibe]

Yeah, the ones milspex wears are cool.

[obsessis]

there's a store here called 'canfields' that sells BDU's....any military supply store should do. they have all black cargo type pants that are 'military-issue'. you'd be best there, they're only like $30.

[breakfasteatre]

ive heard the term bdu before, what does it stand for?

where is here?

[minya]

Battle dress uniform. It refers to standard-issue military pants. Go check out a surplus store, you might like them.

ahhhh, i had no idea they made black versions. I was thinking only camo and that would look ridiculous with my jacket. thanks

[canice]

there's a place called central surplus at yonge/wellesley that apparently sells shemaghs, military gear, and the like. two birds one stone, dude.

[minya]

yep, BDUs come in navy, black, olive, all sorts of camo, etc.

BDU can also refer to shirts as well, but in my experience if someone just says "BDUs" they most commonly mean the pants.

camo(green-base)

sand camo (yellow-base)

urban camo (black-base)

black

blue

possibly khaki

army green

totally go military surplus style. they are good quality for the price...have rip-stop fabric. they'll be baggy enough for you if you get them bigger, they are sized like s, m, l, xl, xxl or so.

OMAHA! is here!

[hahnstch]

DJFlame, i've never actually seen Silas and Surrender BDUs...

nbhd and FL also produce BDU. and dont forget mhi snopants. some other japanese brands like unrivaled, HP+ might also have produced BDUs at some point or another

I think someone mentioned it here before, maybe its my imagination.

Oh snaps, yea I forgot Maharishi. IMO they make the best military inspired clothing. FL always ges my vote too (Me being a big supporter of Futura's work)
