I have a couple of pairs of the green version. They are just about the best utility trousers I have ever owned - hard wearing, comfortable, and a perfect fit when washed (in my case 33R; "7", 32/34). Before buying a couple of black pairs I rang Flecktarn and checked the sizes and bought exactly the same size. In the case of the green pairs, the shrinkage gave me exactly the right fit. In the case of the black ones it definitely doesn't! These shrink MUCH less than the originals, ending up 2-3" longer than the green pairs. Something has changed, whether the fabric (which feels much different) or I don't know what. So now I have two black pairs which don't fit. - Submitted by roy
