Black BDU Pants, Military Fatigues These are Captain Dave's most popular BDUs, or Battle Dress Uniforms. They are durable, rugged clothes in SWAT Black with all the features you've come to expect in BDUs. Made from tough poly/cotton twill, they are deal for almost any outdoor activity or when you want to make an impression. Available in a range of sizes from a 23" waist to a 63" and the inseam lengths go from 26-1/2" to 35-1/2".
Customer Review: Very comfortable
Comfortable and of pretty decent construction. The waist cinch straps are great -- adjusts the fit like a belt, but lots more convenient (and there are still belt loops if you want them.)
Anywhere there's a button closure (thigh and rear pockets, plus the fly. I mostly notice this with the fly), the two-ply button flap has a seam separating individual buttons, so when buttoning or unbuttoning you can't slide your fingers down from button to button but must actually pull them out, move down and back in.
I found the proportions to be pretty good in most respects, but it's a bit baggy in the crotch; the length of cut between the top of the inseam and the top of the waistband is longer than is typical for jeans in similar sizes.
The material (55% cotton, 45% polyester, twill-pattern weave) is pretty soft, but is not noiseless. There's a definite rasp when it slides over skin. Not as loud as some slacks I've worn of similar material proportions, but louder than a cotton pair of jeans.
I've observed only slight shrinkage when laundered with hot water and a hot dryer.
These pants are made in China, in case you care (military replica vendors often seem to make a point of this.)
