Bag-gy trousers

It seems like only weeks ago that i was adapting jackets for chilly mornings and evenings... and already the midnight heatwaves are upon us. Shaberdash needs to get on the spring/summer tip.
First things first. Take those nasty pockets off the baggy camo combats and shape them up. In the process of doing that I figured why not put those old pockets to use - they're so big and well-constructed.
Putting them back to back with some extra off-cut linen makes a handy bag for trips to the beach. The pocket flaps can also be joined to create a versatile press stud lid to the bag. For a strap I dug out a bargain basement tie from River Island in what appears to be a black on blue baby leopard print.
I'll leave the shorts for later.
