Sportsman's Guide

http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/c ... 31002&bt=N

I've ordered a couple pair to see how they look but size 4 leggings rarely last, if you need any, better get them now!

WPG has restocked leggings. They go all the way up to size 6! But they are also $40 a pair.

Ouch...

Light Overview of the Sportsman's Guide Leggings


Color: just a bit lighter and greener
Fabric: just a bit thinner (lighter canvas). The laces are fatter and the webbing strap is much softer
Grommets: fairly accurate compared to these real ones I found off ebay
Hardware Count: Missing the first grommet over the hook side of the leggings.
Construction: The hems are not as thick as the real deal, nore as dark (these '42 marked leggings have a slight green to the mustard hems). The stitching is also much thinner. I would give it a run through with a sewing machine to give it thicker stitching.
The webbing strap that goes around the arch of the boot is also excessively long. The hardware is cheaply stamped steel of a lighter gauge, so it's much thinner. So thin and malleable in fact that I bent them out of shape just playing with it.

Verdict?
-I'm no stitch guru so I can't say for sure; Looks passable to me... you may want to do some custom needlework before taking them out though.

Hi Guys,

I know they are an investment at $42 per pair, but the days of $10 leggings I think are about gone. Ours are perfect and authentic in every way...

Thanks for asking Juan. Doing pretty well at the moment. Just trying to get over a kidney stone operation I had a couple weeks ago. Nothing serious and it's amazing how non-invasive surgery can be today.

If you're looking for 3R's they go for $8.00 a pair at Old Grouch Surplus, and their orginals. I got two pair of 2R's and they're great

Okay. But, I don't they will last for long.

2 and 3's are easy to find. The bigger sizes Juan is talking about are pretty much impossible to find at any price.

I think SportsmansGuide still has the size4s available at 19.99
