Overpants

These were a custom project for a friend of mine. Designed one night while we were in Guatemala, they're finally completed. Close to 70 hours I think, here's the scoop.

Starting with a base of canvas duck carpenter pants, they were first treated with Borax to be somewhat fire retardant. They're then split up the seams on the outside, and the whole border is seamed in black oiltan.

Then there's the utility half-chaps attached to the front panel. The left leg has a large pouch with a dial clasp, some retaining rings, a long ring strip for hanging various things, and a lace-up frog.
The right leg has two smaller pouches, D-rings, a strap with a spring clip, and shotgun shell loops currently holding glass vials.
These buckle around the thighs, and the upper portion forms the basis of the belt.
At the back is a drop-down first aid kit. With a flick of the chest hinge, the pouch unfolds and drops down, inside are 3 vials in loops, and plenty of space for sundry lineaments.
On the back right is a 4-ringed frog for carrying hatchets or other such tools.

Finally at the bottom are removable leather gaiters/greaves. They're of a slightly thicker leather, and buckle up the sides.
