Our Same High Quality Jute Thread is sewn directly on to Military BDU trousers. These are made by "Propper". The Jute thread is sewn on to the back of the trousers and a 1000 Denier Cordura Plus Material is sewn on to the front for those long sniper crawls. The Cordura "Plus" means it has a Urethane Coating for water repellency. ( Weight 3.5 lbs.) If "Propper" brand is unavailable at the time, we will use "Tru-Spec" Brand.
