most accurate/best usmc p-44 hbt “monkey pants” reproduction.

[sshmuck]

ive wanted a pair of monkey pants for a while now, the only problem is that they go for like $800+. i was wondering what the best most accurate reproduction is around say $150-250. i know that the real mccoys is usually the gold standard for repros but their pair is like $450.

ah, I just went for MTO to local tailor, in HBT material but seems thicker and less glossy than what usually shown in youtube, also just normal zip fly, but you can ask for buttonfly or with extra flap since it is mto


Here the fit is like jeans but you can spec it differently I think, lucky they cut it this way probably using the same pattern from my previous jeans order because I like this cut better than baggy legs, the price is also way way sub $100 at least as a local order

I order through local market place app , but I chat through its IG to the owner about my measurement and things i wanted like the buttons to be closest to the edges as possible, perhaps they accept international order from their IG i don't know, just try.
I think you can ask for laurel leaf donut buttons too or perhaps the stars ww2 buttons as I see those buttons sold too here in my country indonesia, but i pick normal plastic olive green button to look more seamless
