This is something a friend of mine used to wear when he was in the U.S. Air Force's airborne unit during his active duty days. These are camouflage cargo pants with four large pockets, making them very practical. The feature is the elastic waistband. While customization is generally prohibited for standard BDUs, people who use parachutes make this kind of modification to prevent snags. The drawstrings at the hem have been removed. This is intentional, not a missing item. - Color: Digital Camouflage - Style: Cargo Pants - Number of Pockets: 4 large pockets - Number of Buttons: 4 buttons Thank you for looking. Size: S-short, but with an elastic waistband. Fits XS to M, so it should suit most Japanese people. I think they would look great with tactical boots.
