Not "cargo" style, but you might be thinking of Bill's Khakis which offer WWII style khakis.

503rd PIR, New Guinea, 1944: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/rhurst1945/WW2/5celltommy.jpg yeah i know LOL. but the 82nd and 101st had some differences in uniforms. subtle, such as leg ties in different colors. that is about the extent of my knowlege. Most of what I know is 82nd 3-504. |

Not the ND yet.... I pulled a few back issues of SoF out of a box looking for the "modernized repro" of WWII M-1942s, but I haven't found the ad as yet. But The At The Front ones do take alot of abuse, and are ideal for Airline and rail travel.
