Very close to my #1 fav, the M65 Field Trouser. About the only important differences I can see are that the M65 are quarpel treated 50-50 NyCo (VERY Cool!) and they have suspender loops instead of suspender buttons, so the complimentary military suspenders are essential (readily available and they hook onto all the loops of the layers one might wear - mil long handles, trouser liners, trousers, and wet weather trou (rain trou).

The last versions I bought before retirement were Woodland Camo BDU pattern instead of OD - I greatly prefer the appearance of the OD.

They would be slightly improved by having BDU-style button flys instead of the zipper fly, but that is the ONLY thing I would change in the design. The zipper fly with grab cord on it IS easier to use when you're all bundled up in the cold, but that's a minor thing. Hard to fix a zipper (other than replacement), but a button is easily replaced.

They are otherwise a superior design to the BDU (one may argue about concealed button pocket closures - the M65 has flaps and press-the-dot fasteners on ALL pockets, not just the cargo pockets, and the all-flapped design is superior, hands down. Anyway, I've never had a press-the-dot fastener failure, even in ~30 yr old trousers.)

The slick flat tape nylon cuff tie of the BDU was a mistake - the round cord in these is far superior. I briefly met (24 hours; he was visiting my command to show off stuff) the guy who convinced Natick to change from the cord to the tape when BDUs were being finalized and his whole thing was blousing (tucking) them into combat boots instead of using as intended. The round cord hurt inside a tightly laced combat boot.

A few months after that, lo and behold, he and I were stationed together on my 3rd AK assignment (his first), and he soon found the error of his decision... but way too late to change the BDU final design - we are stuck with that idea still.

Quarpel treated 50-50 (or 60-40) NyCo windproof sateen is flat out the finest rugged outdoor clothing fabric invented, period. Nothing else equals its performance. Some of the latest cotton-poly blends perform OK, but still are just cheap pretenders compared to 50-50 or 60-40 NyCo.

If I could get away with wearing those M65s at work... nah, they think I'm pretty wierd, er, "fashion-impaired" already.
