      They’re called Hammer Pants, famously named after MC Hammer. He had a whole line of utility pants: hammers, parachutes.

      Ah, I can see that.

      Mine are usually a similar L-loop, standard C-loop, or flat nylon ribbon loops for having many clip points in a strip. But not exactly what’s In this pic. Usually they’re a bit higher to the waist or near the knee. The higher quality ones have the same synthetic guarding to stop wear from rubbing.

      And when they’re loaded, belt eyelets are next!
