So, another couple of years has passed and it's time for me to replace my favorite work pants: The Dockers Cargo Pants. The thick material and the straight-leg cut gives me protection from chemical spills by allowing me to drop the pants before they soak through. The bellows-like cargo pouch is a wonderful thing to have when doing maintenance in the lab. (Plus, I prefer to have my wallet in the cargo pouch rather than the seat pocket.) So, I fire up my Amazon account and get ready to order only to find... CRAP!!! No more bellows pockets!!! How am I supposed to stuff my multimeter in my pants now!? Those bastards!!! Don't they understand that we men want the same fricking thing as last time only new? Now I have to find an equivalent brand, necessitating a trip to the dreaded malll. Ugh.

I've had a peek at next year's design too. They are removing the legs altogether. Stock up.

I buy 100% cotton BDU-style trousers directly from Proper Clothing: MilSpec version with button fly. Budget version with zipper fly. They have nylon/cotton blends but I've found that they fray and wear out relatively quickly. I cut the drawstrings off the bottoms of the legs and get the trousers pressed at a dry cleaners, and they look good for work. I've gotten compliments from senior military leaders including at least one brigadier general.
Remove before flight

I want pants that will enhance my package. I need all the help I can get.

Thanks for the suggestion Skycat, but I always have to try pants on at the store. Usually pants are just the wrong hip-width to leg-width ratio for me.

Beach has a baby and hence...dumping on the brain. Having been in the club of scraping a few, yep. Can see why. Oh wait, I should dig up the video,just to bad you can`t smell it.

I tried stuffing a potato in the front of my pants, but it just fell out. Embarrassing.
Don't think I could go the poop in the pants/reverse pants thing. The idea of poopy near my privates freaks me out man!
