Patent ID: 7681255

Claim:
Pants for weapon-carrying personnel, with cargo pockets arranged to accommodate a thigh rig holster, comprising: a main pocket attached to an outside thigh area on one leg of the pants, the main pocket having an outer fabric panel defining an outer wall of the pocket, and the pocket being capable of receiving relatively large, generally flat items, at least one front pocket secured on an outer side of the main pocket's outer fabric panel, narrower in width than the main pocket and covering a portion of the main pocket's outer fabric panel but leaving a laterally adjacent space uncovered on the outer fabric panel, the space being wide enough for a thigh rig holster to lie against the outer fabric panel at said space, laterally adjacent to the front pocket, without blocking access to the top of the front pocket, and the front pocket being secured to the outer fabric panel of the main pocket at securement positions near top and bottom ends of the front pocket and with the securement positions leaving unobstructed pass-through clearance between the front pocket and said outer fabric panel sufficient to allow at least one generally horizontal strap of a thigh rig holster to slide horizontally through the clearance to be positioned in engagement around the pants leg with the holster positioned at said space and adjacent to the front pocket.
