WORKERS M43 Trousers Mod, 10oz Brown Back Denim

Previously, I made military pants with only cargo pockets on the sides, commonly known as the M43. Changing the subject, I saw a post on Instagram by a vintage clothing enthusiast whom I affectionately call the "Shirt God," and it featured front pockets, which shouldn't be present on those M43s. I messaged him after a long time and he kindly showed me the details. Was it a test sample? Or an officially delivered item? Its history is unknown. I was inspired by the idea of front pockets. The buttons and fabric are similar to the M43s I made previously, with herringbone fabric and tack buttons. The specific pair he showed me had completely different fabric and buttons. It's not a reproduction; it's a realization of the idea that "it would be convenient to have front pockets on M43s with side cargo pockets." The lack of back pockets makes the pants lighter. They don't feel bulky around the hips. It's a well-balanced design that makes me regret not thinking of it myself. The material, OD/Khaki herringbone, is about 9.2-9.5 ounces. After washing, it shrinks slightly to about 10 ounces. They look similar, but the thread thickness is slightly different. The OD (olive drab) version doesn't show the pattern very clearly. The Khaki (the one that looks slightly brownish) version shows the stripe pattern relatively clearly. The products have been pre-washed.

Material: 10oz 100% cotton, brown dyed weft x indigo denim warp. Accessories: 13-star tack buttons. Stitching: Polyester spun thread. Country of origin: Japan. Made in Japan.
