Made customizable cargo pants 👖

I call them MOLLE Millions pants 😁

Front view (yes, I know I went overboard with the attachments):

Empty (photoshopped to mirror the other leg):

That looks like the French cleats of the clothing industry. Not bad.

Haha that's a good way of putting it!

Are these the same pants as that mega pocket one you made?

Pretty cool!

Jilanico@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 9d (9 replies)

Yeah I added the "supercargo" pocket to the other leg 😁 the initial idea was to have two pairs of pants: one with MOLLE on both legs and the other with "supercargo" pockets on both legs. But I figured I could just prototype both ideas on a single pair.

Nice. Have you tried them on when filled to capacity? What's moving around like that feel like?

Jilanico@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 9d (7 replies)

I've worn them like this, but not with stuff in every pocket. With the pockets all empty it feels normal enough. iirc I tossed a water bottle in the supercargo pocket and it was fine.

If I stuffed everything to capacity, I'd probably need to tighten my belt. But having that many pockets is unreasonable anyways.

The task suspenders were made for!

Task-tical suspenders?

Jilanico@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 9d (1 reply)

I made those too:

Holy Santa clause shit. The whole look is quite something!

There's tons of MOLLE compatible equipment. Is there a point where it is impractical and ridiculous with what you can fit on them?

Jilanico@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 9d

I've all but filled it up and I'm self aware enough to know it looks ridiculous, but I'm something of a fashion maximalist. I don't think anyone actually needs that much on their pants for any practical purpose.

sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 9d

That's legit. Staying up with a belt is adequate. I wish I had a pair at my last job, I had so much bullshit to carry up into ceiling rafters. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

It's missing a cod piece.

Also I think the caution decal is kinda funny. "Watch out knee incoming better stay clear"

Awesome!

Great concept.

Though I've found the vertical hammer to be a real pain.

Horizontal at the belt line is the shit.

Jilanico@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 9d

Thanks :) If they make a MOLLE horizontal holder, you could put it anywhere on the pants 👍

viral.vegabond@piefed.social · 1 pts · 8d

I don't think I've ever seen a horizontal hammer holder, do you have a link perhaps?

tyler@programming.dev · 4 pts · 9d (4 replies)

I was ready to buy them until I saw the last photo 😅

Actually it's that empty look that inspired me to begin with. Astronauts on the ISS wear pants with Velcro strips to hold equipment. When I saw that I got the idea to use MOLLE.
