Coming up with a pair of dungarees not related to the ubiquitous 5-pocket jeans, that could have existed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e“Wanna turn shorts into pants?”, I quipped, “Here it is, Barney-style, just add legs!”\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Mister Freedom® Design Dept kindly remarked that morphing our swim trunks into a pair of practical work pants may take a few more cups of brain juice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFirst, we needed front pockets for functionality, so we borrowed the patch pocket design (sandwiched in the outseam) of our Utility Trousers from 2015.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor the back of the pants, the single square pocket of the trunks felt too plain, so we tapped our Swabbies for a more visually-pleasing rear pocketing design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe also needed two pockets, to balance with the absence of back yoke, also a feature of our classic Speedways, anecdotally.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe four pockets are cut using horizontal warp, in contrast with the traditional vertical warp used for the legs, which always makes for interesting fabric roping and patina.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe of course kept the no-belt loops style waist band and D-ring cinch strap, pure vintage UDT shorts legacy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThere it is.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA modern day wearable blending vintage military aesthetics and utilitarian clothing functionality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mister Freedom","offers":[{"title":"29","offer_id":52956500263191,"sku":"MFSC-522-29","price":350.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30","offer_id":52956500295959,"sku":"MFSC-522-30","price":350.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"31","offer_id":52956500328727,"sku":"MFSC-522-31","price":350.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32","offer_id":52956500361495,"sku":"MFSC-522-32","price":350.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"33","offer_id":52956500394263,"sku":"MFSC-522-33","price":350.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36","offer_id":52956500427031,"sku":"MFSC-522-36","price":350.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"38","offer_id":52956500459799,"sku":"MFSC-522-38","price":350.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/5994\/1143\/files\/ScubaPantsOkinawa-1aSPF.png?v=1777511128","url":"https:\/\/therightgarment.com\/products\/mister-freedom-scuba-utilities-okinawa","provider":"The Right Garment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
