False product description
The product description bullet points, the last bullet point says that these pants are "button fly".These pants ARE NOT BUTTON FLY. The seller is FALSE AND FRAUDULENT in the product description.The pants have a ZIPPER FLY.And, not surprisingly the zipper broke upon first wearing of the trousers. Which is why I prefer button fly for BDU type trousers. Button can be repaired with relative ease. Zippers: negative.So now, I have a really nice, well made tiger stripe zipper fly trouser that are of no use until and if I can get the zipper fly replaced. Moral to this story: accept only button fly BDU's.

Very good for $30, close but not the same as the old issue BDUs.
First I am deployed as a contractor in Iraq. I kind of felt nostalgia for what I wore when I first joined the military in the early 90s. (yes I'm old) Ran across these in khaki and thought I would risk the $30. Was not expecting very much for the price. It is in the ripstop pattern, but is 100% cotton. The material feels thinner/ different then the old BDUs.Overall they bring back a lot of good memories. I hope they are available when I need to buy more work pants.Cons,Missing the flap the ripstop BDUs had.100% cotton, much thinner then the winter BDUs, will wrinkle would not recommend washing in anything but coldBelt loops are thinner (seems like they may/will fail)no pleat at the knee (I remember folding them when ironing the old BDUs)Draw tab thinner less durable material then the original BDUremoving Irish Pennants like original BDUs (strings left from the manufacture)Pros,Many of the cons , i.e. thinner cotton, no knee pleat, no flap (except the belt loop, possibly the waist tabs they seem like a fairly faithful copy)Very similar to the original pattern, i.e. drain grommets on the pockets double material knees, seat of pantsmade in Haiti and not china$30can make repairs in the field if you lose a button unlike if your 5.11 zipper fails. (will buy these to replace the 5.11s in the future)Seems well sownThey seem to fit like a medium regular shouldinside pockets are well sown

Propper vs. TRU-SPEC
I like these pants. I bought one pair of these and one pair of the TRU-SPEC Ploy,cotton,ripstop. Same size. Both are good pants. There are a few differences. The Propper's are tapered towards the ankle so there a tighter look to them. The TRU-SPEC's were baggier at the ankle. The Propper brand is also tighter in the seat and crotch area, not uncomfortanble but the TRU-SPEC are noticebly baggier there as well. The material on the TRU-SPEC's is a slightly softer but I wouldn't say the Propper's are rough. Because of TRU-SPECs bagginess and softness, I think the Proppers look crisper. Both have held up well for the last 2 months.Additional note: It has been 4 months of wearing these both pairs interchangeably with regular washings. They both look to be in the same shape as before. I have noticed on both pairs the cuffs by the ankle have dragged on the ground at some point and have become scraped up and threaded. I do not use the ties on the cuffs and removed the ties early on. The scrapes seem more so on the TRU-SPECs and that would be expected since they are looser. I am also not using boots with either of these so that more than likely is the reason.8 month update: So far so good still. Both are holding up well and I used them everyday. 3 things that I noticed. 1: the top button of the TRU-SPECs popped off about 2 months ago. I could resew it but have been lazy and just tighten my belt over it. 2: Both pairs have side cinches that will tighten the pant's waist in place of or in assistance with a belt. The Tru-Specs hold in place but the Proppers uncinch if I squat. Speaking of squatting, 3: the other day I was doing yard work and it wasn't bad when I began but became humid as the day progressed. When I squatted in the Proppers it was very tight around the knee and leg area because of the sweat. I assume it its because the proppers are not as baggy as the Tru-specs. I have not worn the Tru-specs and squatted in them while sweating so I cannot compare.Additional note on these only: I think you are supposed to unbutton the fly all the way before you wash them. I usually only undo the first 3 and now the fourth button has started to imprint on the front of the fly.

Perfect FIT for a Nimwit!
I love the fact that I am a Nimwit. Being a nimwit all of my life, (yes I was born nimwitted) , I have had to face barrels of Stigma and Mean Spiritedness from my peers. These trousers have changed all of that. I am no longer ostracized and people have stopped throwing rotten bananas at me! They only throw dead fish, which are much easier to deal with in the home.I can even carry back all of the fish in the spacious pockets that are provided at no extra charge with these trousers. I love Propper Brand and I am never going to run naked through the mall again! I promise on the Yellow Pages.

Crotch hangs WAY low.
The crotch is EXTREMELY long on these. So much that to get it where it should be I have to pull them several inches above where my pants normally ride.I wore medium-regular BDU's back in the day. I'm 5'9" 160 lbs (then and now) and they (Military BDU's) fit great. These.....not so much. The materially appears to be durable. Wearing them around the house they are noisy. Hunting pants I think not. Was hoping they'd be close to Military BDU-type pants.Not. Waist-cinching strap and belt loops are wimpy. Will update after several wearings and washings but I'm not hopeful.Update. I've washed and worn these half a dozen times, have not softened up. As for the crotch it still hangs WAY low. I like the material and the design, just wish they fit better.

The best pants I've ever bought
I've been buying these pants for work (security) because all of my issued uniform pants have not been durable enough. Propper BDU pants have stood up to everything I could throw at them: climbing, crawling, running, harsh weather, repeated washing, and just hard daily wear. The most repair work they've needed was having the occasional button replaced. I recommend them to everyone I work with, and I can't say enough good things about them. If the zombie apocalypse was happening outside, I'd be putting on these pants as I went out the door.

High quality worth the money, follow the washing/ instructkions
Great pants last few pairs lasted 7+ years friends were all surprised when they found out how old they were, only wear propper trousers but mix it up with the print an lines, very rough in them beach parties , camping , random stuff most people wouldn't do and paint ball hard an ya they take a beating, have a few black pairs that saved me from the worst or the damage from beach an camp fires drunk not fire proof but I swear I'd be getting some graphs if I hadn't been eating them

Really long for someone’s who 6ft
I should have bought an xl oh well they are long and I am 6ft tall so long that I walk on the pant leg. It’s a button fly with large pockets that also buttoned up. They keep me warm with it being winter and usually all the other pants I have bring a draft and these don’t. I will hopefully have some more money to buy an xl next time maybe a different pattern.

Sizes run a little large.
I used to wear these when I worked in retail because finding pants with good mobility that weren't offensively non-dress clothes was exceptionally difficult. These have a gusseted crotch so you can bend and squat and stretch every which way and not blow the ass or crotch out of them. They also have double layered knees and deep pockets. They come in a wide variety of sizes for height and waist, and are adjustable with the little tab things on the sides (results may vary. One pair I had, the left adjusting strap just didn't stay tight at all.) I'm 6ft 1in and 32in waist and I fit somewhere in between a medium and a small long. The mediums were extremely loose around my ass and legs but the small just didn't have enough waist for me to wear comfortably if I got bloated after lunch.All in all, they're a good buy for the money, and when the colour starts to fade after you wash them every couple days for 3 or 4 months you can just dye them black again.

My favorite pair of pants!
I bought these as comfort pants during the Covid19 period, instead of the usual gym pants most slobs wear. I was a little hesitant as the listing has one poor photo of the pants taken from the front, with no image of the back, and also, the listing doesn't even specify what material they're made of. My pair was 100% cotton ripstop, but I've read others had received poly/Cotton blends. Strange!As the size range for most combat pants span a wide range, they're often difficult to get a good fitting pair....a medium fits 32" to a 35" waist I believe. I am 6'1" tall and weigh 190lbs, with a 32" waist, so I was expecting them to be very loose, but they fit perfectly. A medium regular fit like a glove and no hemming either. My wife hates military clothes, so I get he extra pleasure of annoying her ever so slightly. These are the most comfortable pants I've ever owned, and great for every day wear and I would imagine, good for wear and tear.
