Tactical Denim G3 Cut Trousers

[BenJackson]

Besides just rare and unusual airsoft gnus, how about some gear?

Does anyone remember these limited edition release of Crye Precision denim G3s?

They only ever made two of these sets, and you could win one as a prize at SHOT show in Vegas.

If there was a similar design (stonewash, not acid wash me thinks) actually commercially available, would there be any interest?

High quality reinforced kneepads, YKK zips, reinforced groin area, elasticated where it needs to be, and made from high quality cordura denim fabric

I'm not talking some cheap Chinese factory knockoff or questionable stuff made in Pakistan, they'd be made in the continent, developed to my specifications by a company that already supplies to several military organisations in Europe.

Price point is TBC, but what do you think is a reasonable figure?

Curious to get some feedback.

For what it's worth, I hate the shirt in the design, I'd prefer something like a G3 cut with just denim arms if anything.

I think theres a reason why they only ever made the two promo sets , double denim isn't a good look at the best of times.
I've got some decent 5.11 & helikon jeans, they have tacticool features while still maintaining a civvy look, much more versatile than what you're proposing

I'm not so much a fan of double denim either, but the top would look significantly better if the just the arms were denim, although in reality it's probably not something I'd look to pursue.

Versatile in a "I can wear them within an airsoft game and not look out of place in public too", undoubtedly.

But with Cordura fabric, integrated knee pads, a reinforced groin area etc, they're more akin to "Tactical trousers made of denim" as opposed to "jeans that blend in on the street but significantly tougher". I don't want to reinvent the wheel so to speak and make something that is directly the same as the 5.11 and Helikon products, although of course they have their own advantages with their own differences.

Ultimately the market might well be on the side that there's no need as people will just buy the other available products, I'm just curious as personally I think they're cool and could genuinely make them happen.

What kind of price ballpark would the trousers be? I like a pair of jeans (especially on big batty gyal) and I'd definitely rock some tacticool one's just for the comfort factor alone.

Obviously the cheaper they end up being, the better for everyone. I will still need to go through finalising samples yet but the final prices looks likely to be around £130 - £150 per pair, in that region.

I'd love to be able to do these for half that price, but given the work going into them and a very, very large MOQ for the specific Cordura fabric, it's simply not possible. I'm confident in saying from the basis of things, they will be worth it. What I don't want people to feel is as though everything is put together in an inferior way, and its just gimmick tax because it's a different fabric. I'd rather not do it at all in that case. It has to be as rugged and durable as material limitations possibly allow. Obviously using a blend of denim is not going to provide the same IR or fire retardant properties as other trousers, but that's a given.

Even then, at that price point, there would have to be a sizeable demand to make things go ahead.

As we all know in airsoft, everyone says they don't want another M4, someone makes something that isn't an M4, and it doesn't sell lol.

If you need someone to function test a prototype I'm a 31" waist I think the jeans would sell better than the top as not many people want a tactical Canadian tuxedo
