I have had a play too Jon ( evening by the way, hope you are well? )
I realy do think these are the answer to the 'what trousers for bushcraft?' question.

Best.

Ha! Hi Chris.
Kevin told me he'd seen you recently.
You ok?
We're fine and looking forward to a nice bright warm summer.
I'm sporting a pair of these trousers at the moment, I like them, plenty of swanakle room.
And they are less clingy than the normal British army greens I sport.
Good old Kevin eh ?
Hope I'll see you soon ?
Jon Mac.

These would be the T.A.R.S trousers then. They're very good, Neil's has been using them for a while and has been raving about them so I bought some, just had a couple of pairs drop through the door in the last twenty minutes along with a Dachstein Jumper. The dachstein jumper is superb, it aint the lightest thing in the world, but when the weather is horrible they are brilliant.

The service from Endicott's as always was superb and Kev new exactly what I was talking about when I spoke to him on the phone the other day.

Thanks for the tip Mr Mac.
Just ordered a couple of pairs.

I got a pair of these from Endicotts a few weeks ago and they are fantastically comfortable. I can really recommend them. Only slight own side is that they don't have any back pockets.

Military Mart have ones looking extremely similar, if not identical, slightly cheaper (£9.50 for Grade A compared to Endicotts £12.95 for Grade 1), but they only have limited sizes and don't come with Endicotts' guarantee. I can't remember how much Endicotts charged for postage so I can't compare that either.

Glad to hear Kevin sorted something out for you... Have to admit I've been wearing mine daily since Kev dropped them off... J

Not sure how much Kevin sells the jumpers for, but I have my name down for some JM sizes for the winter... J

Glad to hear it Dave.
I went walkabout with the camera in the hot Devon afternoon sun and found the trousers extremely comfortable.
Much better than my old 'Greens'.
Best wishes.

There is no price posted at present which usually means Kev hasn't graded the new stock as yet.
