From the US Air Force come these modern made cotton blend combat trousers. They saw issue in many of America's Middle Eastern exploits and up until 2021, they were the standard issue for aircrew in the US.
For utilities and space, you certainly won't be lacking room with these trousers. They offer 8 pockets total, 6 of which can be fastened shut. They're mostly spread across the front, but do have a couple on the back. If like me you appreciate a bit of flexibility on the waist, you'll be glad to know the waistband is partially elasticated, giving a nice tailored fit.
Despite the inside of a plane bearing little to no resemblance of an environment where camouflage and deception would be of use, the US Air Force wanted their own unique look after the Army and Navy had jazzed up their uniforms. The result was this Digital Tiger Stripe or DTS camouflage. It used to be a bit bolder and bluer, but in the end the Air Force copied the army's dull greyscale that was used for the Universal Camouflage Pattern. It did last quite a while, but now after 2 decades it's been retired.
