I wear Cargo/combat trousers/shorts all the time, i often fill one of my pockets with EDC type stuff, but its all just in there rattling around, plus anything with an edge tends to wear through the pocket.
I carry a coin pouch which stops you ending up with a hole in your pocket, so i thought i'd have a go of making one for the leg pocket of my combats.
I have leather and like it alot, i used the softest bits i had, apart from the front flap, which i used the thickest bit i had to take the puch holes for the closure posts.
No belt loop as it will always go in a pocket. I doubled up the back piece wih a piece of pale yellow on the inside.
I wanted it to be able to expand, so put V pieces in the sides.
Thats what the lower holes on the front are for.
The yellow inside was an idea i got from my Molle backpack which has a yellow interior which give contrast to the things inside whaen you are routing around for something.
I've started using it, its pretty cool i recon, but i'm trying different things in it to see what works.
