I sewed MOLLE/PALS webbing onto the legs of a boilersuit. I'm thinking of doing the same to a pair of pants. The idea is that you could customize the pockets/pouches you want on your pants and the exact locations you want them placed. So customizable cargo pants. Thoughts? Good/bad idea?

I'm thinking contrasting colors. Like black pouches and dark grey webbing, maybe.

Agreed would make for a cool look ๐Ÿ‘

Ignoring for the moment all the shit you'll have to put up with from the asshole fashionista crowd, how often do you actually see yourself doing that? It's just so tedious and time-consuming to reconfigure things for different purposes that I'd much rather just have several pairs premade that are customized to any particular purpose and just switch which pair of pants I'm wearing - something that can be done much more quickly than all the reconfiguring. Maybe a pair or two like this could be useful for the more infrequent tasks that don't rate a dedicated pair of pants, or maybe for prototyping layouts for the premade versions - but that's about all I could see myself doing with such a setup.

Yeah the idea was to configure it once to be just the way you like it and leave it like that ๐Ÿ‘

(I should have added the context that I'm thinking of making this a product)

I've little doubt there will be enough takers to make it worth doing... IF you can make those people aware of your offering. Personally, marketing has always been far too slimy for my tastes - making it one of the more significant (of many) reasons I could never go into business for myself. But good luck to you.
