Review of Unconventional's Field/Combat Hybrid Pants

[Jerm_G]

Thanks for the info man.

How much did those mods cost you?

[shakespeare]

Does that include the knee pads, or are they purchased separately?

Where are you paying $80 for Crye ones? MSRP is $40 and they arent hard to find..

DKJ, he got the Gen 3s, you're talking about the Gen 2s. You have Gen 3s. Gen 3s are only available on Ebay right now, AFAIK. They aren't on CP.com or GreyGroup.

IMHO Gen 2 looks better.

I'm working on an order with Unconventional as we speak. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Very kind of you Nick, for the phenomenal, detailed review of my work...I don't think I deserve a "10", though..lol! You really made my day though and every positive word from those who have considered my services motivates me to never give up on my personal goals and to become better at what I do.

My stitching is well done and strong but it's nowhere near as good as the big wigs with the computer assisted sewing machines, but I'm improving on things. My threading and stitching is not as aesthetically pleasing as most of the big time company products, but rest assured, the sewing I do is strong, the thread type I use is strong (general use polyester thread, outdoor fray resistant gear thread and military T65 type thread, as well) and will hold up when the gear/clothing is used in "real Deal" tactical environments and in weekend warrior MIL-SIM. As time progresses I will be acquiring new tools and techniques that should improve my services and skills. For now, people should know that if they place an order with me, they will receive thorough communication, reinforced stitching on their items and innovative options proposed to them from a unique small business right here in America!

My initial post of the FCHP and services offered has been completely overhauled...look at my post for the FCHP pants at the "Custom Projects" section to find the changes I made and the new pricing..etc

BTW - for those who are interested in my call sign/blood type patches, call sign patches and blood type patches, I now offer them with the option of sewn-on velcro hook or loop front borders. Customer can either send me their own color coordinated velcro or I can simply attach color coordinated velcro from my own supply at a low cost. My blog site has been completely updated with new pricing and edited services. I have downsized my services to only what is the most popular and needed services to reduce headaches..lol!

FYI - I have a few sets of replica combat knee pads available for purchase to go with a FCHP conversion if a few of you would like to proceed with having your pants done. I only get a few sets of pads at a time so they will be offered along with FCHP conversions only and on a limited basis...so "Ash", if you now want to do this, we can.

Thanks!

when propper releases A-TACS, you might be getting a call from me sir.

I'm in communication with Unconventional right now about my pants, and so far, it's been awesome. I payed half up front, sent him my uniform, and he's kept in constant commo with me, even when I was extremely late in sending out the stuff (my error). He's suggested mods that I hadn't even thought of, all of which are great ideas, and had been taking great measures to ensure that the finished product will be awesome. I'll post up a review when the process is done, but I know he'll get an 11 from me on communication. Really, he goes above and beyond.

Also supporting him is supporting a small US business.

I did. Bethany told me to go check their page. I did. I didn't find Gen3s. I emailed her again. No response. ;_;

Try this:

Should have everything you're looking for in there.

[Snowman]

I'll try again, lol...

Ok. At the BSP game, I lost 1 of my 2 Generation 3 Airflex kneepads, like these. I do not want to pay full price for a whole new set of 2, so I emailed Crye about ordering a single replacement pad. I was directed to their online site, where I searched and did not find Gen3 pads, because I think they have not "officially" been released to the public.

I emailed CP again saying this, and have not received a response.
