CUSTOMIZED BDU
==============
BASED ON THE CONTRACTOR BDU (CBDU)
http://www.militarymorons.com/gear/gear.2.html

The only differences are:
○Full sleeves

Below are the notes I've written on the design, mostly taken directly from the linked site, above.

BDU SHIRT DESIGN
○ Letterman jacket-style collar, high in the back and tapers to the front.
 - 2.3" tall at the back, taper smootly down in a curve to a V-shape in the front, where the two sides overlap with a button.
 - Small 550 cord loop at the highest point in the back.
○ Standard BDU sleeve length, velcro tab wrist closure
○ Reinforced elbows/pad pockets
 - The elbow and bottom of the forearm is covered by a 500D cordura patch, which doubles as a pad pocket.
 - It'll accommodate a 7.5" x 7.5" foam elbow pad.
 - The point is to provide more protection than a standard BDU against abrasion and knocks when going prone, and also give the user the option of adding his own padding.
○ Slanted chest pockets.
 - Large: 7.5" tall x 6.5" wide, expandable chest pockets with velcro closure.
 - Slanted inward for easier access with the opposite hand.
○ Double layer shoulder pockets
 - 7" x 6", and has a velcro flap closure.
 - It's actually two pockets in one, and has outer and inner pockets.
 - The outer one has bellows for expansion at the rear, and is accessed through the top opening which is slanted forward slightly.
 - The pocket underneath it is accessed by the front vertical zipper, and is a flat pocket.
○ Waist adjustment tabs
 - two 2"-wide waist adjustment tabs on each side to adjust the snugness of the shirt around the waist.
 - This is to control where the excess material folds for improved comfort and a better fit when wearing body armour over the CBDU.

BDU PANTS DESIGN
○ Button fly and waist
○ Front pelvis pockets
 - 6"x6", small expandable pleats
 - Flap has two velcro patches to secure the opening and angled corners to prevent snagging.
○ Belt loops
 - The belt loops fit 2" belts.
 - There are also three additional belt loops for 2.5" belts, made out of 1" webbing, located at the front/sides, and the rear center.
 - They have D-rings sewn at the top as suspender attach points.
○ Hidden pocket in waistband
 - At the rear of the pant is a hidden pocket inside the waist band, 3" wide and 1.5" deep, providing a hiding place for small items (coins, folded cash, a key, button compass etc) that can be then retrieved in case of emergency.
 - Velcro closure.
○ Side waist adjustment tabs
 - Standard BDU style
○ Side slash pockets
 - Standard BDU style
○ Knife hanger inside right pocket
 - A small webbing loop is sewn to the inside surface of the pocket as a knife clip attach point.
 - The knife clip faces the inside instead of to the outside.
○ Double seat
○ Rear pockets
 - Standard rear pockets with the buttons replaced with velcro closure.
○ Side cargo pockets
 - The standard pleated side pockets retain the button closure, but with the addition of a velcro closure in the middle.
 - That way, the buttons can be left undone for quicker access and closure of the flap.
 - I also wanted to be able to organize a couple of items in the cargo pocket instead of having everything end up at the bottom rattling around.
 - 2" elastic loops sized to fit M4 magazines.
○ Knee pad pockets/reinforcements
 - The knees are covered in 500D cordura which greatly increases abrasion resistance and also provide pockets for knee pads.
 - The pocket will accomodate knee pads up to 9" tall x 8" wide which are inserted through a velcro-secured opening at the top of the pocket.
○ External knee pad loop provisions
 - On each side of the knee reinforcement/pocket is a small 'tunnel' through which a 550 cord loop can be tied.
 - This provides a loop for external knee pad straps to pass through, so they won't slip downwards.
○ Elastic shock cord leg cuff closure
 - elastic shock cord with a cord lock.
