Anyone know if they are sold anywhere in SE MI? Thanks, Raffi |
| Are they really worth the price? I wear cargo pants/shorts 99.99% but cannot afford to pay $50/pair. I make do w/ non-tactical brand alternatives that I pick up on clearance @ Meijer: $10/pair for Emergency Exit brand. They are probably not built to the same standards w/ triple stitching & whatnot, but they seem to hold up ok. |
Well, I can see how being free could make them a more attractive option.  eta sentence made no sense |

I really like my Woolrich Elite pants. Heavy fabric, and lots of pockets. The two smaller pockets up front (511's only have one) are great for cell phones, USB memory sticks, ect. They are great for the colder weather that starting to hit us now. Plus they don't make you look like a tacticool poser. Here is what they look like, www.woolricheliteseriestactical.com/products/elitepant.htm Here is yours truly wearing them with my Open Carry Yorkie ©,

Joe's Surplus store? I was going to suggest them. I haven't seen 5.11s there but when I go, I don't really check the apparel out that closely. They do also carry Propper BDUs. I have some Propper cargo shorts and they are really well made. FWIW Whenever I see the "Propper" tag in the shorts I am reminded of that stupid Pepsi commercial from the early 90s with MC Hammer...  Stoopid random memories.

Nope. There is a uniform store at the NW corner of 59 and Telegraph. I was stopped at the light in front of it the other day wondering if they had them. I'll have to stop in to see what they have and also try the Woolrich pants. Thanks for all the info guys. Raffi |
This. |
I got mine at Jay's....pretty good selection. I really prefer the Woolrich. |

FWIW, The force behind woolrich tactical clothing has started a new company: www.eotac.com/ I do not believe that woolrich is still making the line of products referred to above. Jake |
