@Brad@Argali thanks for the explanation on offshore manufacturing. I prefer to buy US made because I want to support domestic workers. However, I am not typically one to buy crap just because it’s made in the US.
My priorities are durability, fit and function. I could care less about camo. I have a pair of Outdoor Research Cirque pants that are one of the finest pairs of pants I own, but are lacking side zips and the fabric is a little loud. Durability and attention to detail (suspender loops and a gaiter hook) are fantastic.
I’m super interested in what you come up with. I’ve been shopping for pants and will hold out to see what you introduce.
