I'm interested in seeing how this works out. What material are they? a cotton blend with some stretch is good.

please keep them light for layering. thin for summer, easy to throw long Johns on underneath for fall/winter.

60/40ish ripstop, as we discussed above the details.
 
I'd be in for some navy blue ones. Something similar to my 5.11 pants for duty use. Pockets for internal Knee pads would be great. Nothing too baggy (but definitely not skinny pants!)
 
Reinforced pockets for knife clip,
Not jean cut pockets since slash style is more versatile,
Zippered additional front pockets that over/underlap the main waist pockets,
Reinforced knees,
Discreet CanadaAmmo logo Levis style,
No pockets for knee pads,
Elastic waist,
Gusseted crotch (not a massive one, only enough for legs not to bind when climbing/hicking/kicking),
Articulated knees,
Reinforced stitching on belt loops and crotch,
One to two pen loops inside each cargo pocket,
2" belt loops,
YKK zippers,
Triple stitching throughout,
Velcro for cargo pockets,
Airplane and airport friendly,
No massive and bulky cargo pockets (just enough for wallet/pack of smokes),
Not baggy nor slim but functional for say hiking,
Ripstop quick drying fabric,
Worlds strongest button (I simply hate stitching them back on and I hate when the middle of a button breaks out),
Twin snap closures instead of button would work very well,
Colours: black, dark charcoal (like a suit), flat dark earth, foliage green, SHTF brown, multicam.
Basically really well made hiking pants would be great.
Make them in black and dark charcoal and I'll buy 3 of each.

Belts are always welcome.
Low profile 2" duty belts and 2" quality black leather belts are always needed.

5.11 style tactical softshell that is better built than the condor offerings.

Will you be looking into making winter parkas as well?
If so, send me a PM since I may have an idea.

2" belt loops (allows a large duty belt) at 2,4,6,8 and 10oclock positions (allows handgun and magazine positioning). A velcro waist fastener (allows for comfortable rigger/cobra belt buckle and/or gun belt rig), double gusset crotch and reinforced seat and knee area.

I would buy 3/4 pairs and test them overseas for you!!
 
Coyote, OD, multicam for me. Like the ideas of 2" belt loops with lots available for positioning. The material blend sounds good to me too. Liked another idea about a reinforced knee patch (with fire hose material? sounds rugged!). Knife pocket is a pretty wicked feature too! Sizing in civi format (such as 36/30) and in my opinion velcro anywhere is the sh!ts, noisy as hell and usefulness tends to wear off quickly.

For that price I'm in for at least a couple pairs! I've been trying to hunt down something like these for awhile now.
 
Huge Fan of the LAPG pants. Elastic waste for sure. Hang my keys from the ring but could find another place for sure. Wood tick city in Manitoba so I do use the strings at the bottom. Mag pockets could be a touch bigger I think.
 
I think at this point every opinion and its opposite has been provided. I'm fairly certain if canam was gonna follow every suggestion/opinion in this thread, we'd end up with a medieval armor suitable for a flying 7-legged hippo-giraffe on meth.

Good luck with those pants. I'll probably end up adding a pair to my an ammo order no matter what and judge for myself if I want more.
 
I have read all the posts so far. One thing I notices wasn't mentioned was the regular front pockets. I wear holes in mine all the time. Usually in the corner.

Can ya make stronger pocket material.

Interests are:

Civvie blendable....in blue jean color or medium grays and tans. They could resemble outdoor junkie clothing. That usually fits in in most places.

I find the cargo pants from costco have many of the features you want. Not as durable as some are looking for. Good base though.
 
I'd love to see a more expensive version with Crye-type features - pockets for Crye type knee pads, Crye-type pockets, zippers for cooling off your ass, legs. I love these style of pants, but multi cam screams a bit loud. I'd love some in straight tan or black
 
Yes, sample arrived this week. Going into production for fall delivery

Basically the same as the current LAPG pants, except:

velcro on back pockets
no blousing strings
no d-rings inside leg pockets
 
Is this just for pants? I skipped nearly the entire thread. Need a durable long sleeve shirt. Something for under a plate carrier. Perhaps one for hot weather and one for cold weather?
 
Great project, I hope they sell well for you. In the original post you mentioned suggestions for other clothing.

I'd like to see a rain resistant cotton hoodie, medium weight with higher pockets to clear belt and gear (think hiking pockets typically seen on trekking jackets with pockets that clear back pack straps/belt). Maybe a zippered or Velcro arm pocket.

I like wearing hoodies at the range but the damn pockets are too low and always mess with my belt line.
